I planted blackberries so that I could eat them.

I also planted blackberries to bake blackberry pie and eat that too, or some of it.

I planted blackberries because I like smoothies and they are delicious when made with  blackberries.

I didn’t plant blackberries so that the squirrels could eat them.

 Little scamp!  That’s not actually what I said when I saw him nibbling at my berries.

I enjoyed watching this  Gray Catbird, Dumetella carolinensis, visit my garden,

…I didn’t enjoy watching him eat  my blackberries.

Does he look smug to you?

I guess he’s sitting in the catbird seat.
