Blackberries for Amelia Luncheon
*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 09/01/2017
On Friday June 1st, 2012, in a year barren of tender fruits due to spring frost, my friend Susannah forwarded me a poem from The Writer’s Almanac titled ‘Blackberries for Amelia’.
As I reread the lovely poem this winter I found within it and about it so many mentions of my world. Of course, we grow an acreage of blackberries on our farm, ripe every (favorable) year in late August, and indeed my wonderful, wonderful daughter is Amelia.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
But the aged man who wrote this poem seems now to be a professor at my college. And his elegant words speak of what I know:
" -a place where blackberries bloom in spring and, months later - and after many leaps of faith - yield a harvest of inky black berries only made sweet when the ageless, timeless and trying work of gathering - is shared."
How did he know? Enjoy our wild blackberry luncheon filled with the spirit and delicious delight of the hedgerow.
