Blackberries are green when they're red

I learned that wise bit of information from my dad. My dad and I thought that it was funny too.

Whenever the land near the path is untended, it is full of blackberry bushes. Their canes flop onto the path. The truth is that blackberries are slowing down my progress. I was thinking today about those desserts in ritzy restaurants that have a little something or another topped with one blackberry, one raspberry and one blue blueberry and a few swirls of sauce. That is lovely but I prefer this one.

Pilgrims in medieval times traditionally carried a scallop shell as a little plate or bowl. It became the sign of the pilgrim.
