Blackberry Winter

Walking the dogs today, I realized why the weather was so damp and chilly...well at least the explanation that my grandmother Mamie and my mom would give.   The wild blackberry vines are blooming, it's blackberry winter.   That is the weather lore I heard every spring, and I smiled as I thought about my mom and grandmother today.  I would say their observation would be spot on.
The blackberry vines are full of flowers.
