I remember having Blackberry bushes in our back yard as kids. We ate them as fast as the birds did. My mom never had a chance to pick them.

We were lucky as kids to live in an area where there were plenty of fruits growing in our "back yard".
We had grape vines, apple trees, plum trees, blackberry bushes, mulberry trees. Then of course our garden was always overflowing with vegetables.

I wish I could have raised my children in such a healthy environment. Playing outside all day, eating fresh fruit off the plants in the back yard. Swimming in the clean rivers and lakes on weekends.

Makes me sad that our world has changed so much.
