Blackberry

I don't really know what the Object Writing people intend here; is this the fruit, or the electronic communication device? We have the former, growing wild here on the ranch; but not the latter, which we eschew because of their cost and annoyance factor (both high). One can make jam out of the former, which is exactly what Mrs. Rhubarb did this year, her first effort at canning, wonderfully executed. The grandson and nephews promptly devoured it, and placed an advance order for more. Well, unfortunately, there won't be anymore until next Fall, but then Mrs. Rhubarb and I will put on our tall rubber boots and work gloves, and subject ourselves to thorns and minor lacerations as we pick wild blackberries from our own property (eating plenty as we go) so that our friends and relatives can have blackberry jam for the Christmas holiday.
