I grew up in the Appalachian country and wish I were still there just to see all the beauty of bloom and to sample all the delicious berries. As I am an ole woman now of 66 years but still remember.

The "June Berry". :-]<br />It's blooms are most beautiful to trumpet the arrival of Spring.<br />Given its wonderful flavour close to blueberries.. We coveted any bushes/trees that we found out there in the farmland. <br />Often, on local party phone lines, the call went out to any who would know of such areas with June berries ready to be harvested.<br />With syrup pails in hand we would head out, often on horses, to find our bounty and would return in triumph to present to our Mothers the berries which soon would be presented as a special dinner fair as a long awaited special pie. Also, preserves worked well for the earlier preparation of winter supplies needed.<br />When that was done, the next project, was to watch for the chokecherries that would come to ripening in late July and more into August depending upon the weather and other circumstances. :-]<br />So, I sure appreciate the time to share here also. As I'm an old man of 65 now.<br />I still carry the pattern of doing so at this time as I had learned so much as a child during those days.<br />I wish all of you the best.<br />Take care.<br />Ol Roy. :-]Chainsaw@runestone.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591278542744238967.post-29912982999683677512007-07-14T17:21:00.000-07:002007-07-14T17:21:00.000-07:00Hi Jaime,Welcome to my blog!

We had thirteen service berry bushes in bloom around our house this spring and feel so blessed to be surrounded by such beauty.<BR/> We also have yellow buttercups, purple grass widows, johnny jumpups and yellow balsom blooming throughout the spring on our property only where it has never been plowed up and has been left natural.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591278542744238967.post-33083603533235299492007-07-10T17:29:00.000-07:002007-07-10T17:29:00.000-07:00The sarvis or service berry's were my late fathers...The sarvis or service berry's were my late fathers favorite. When they bloom I always think of him. Why they were called service berries is new to me. My father always said the sarivs berries bloom in mid april and the saringa bloom in mid june. The saringa is also called mock orange I believe. Thank you - very interesting, I will pass it on.Seven Mile Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06212442800943390671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591278542744238967.post-89101099897790951972007-07-10T13:49:00.000-07:002007-07-10T13:49:00.000-07:00Hi, I was just searching for sarvis berry recipes ...Hi, I was just searching for sarvis berry recipes and stuff and ran across this blog, pretty cool, i've always loved them.
