blackberries

Blackberries!  Blackberries!

I have picked about 48 cups of blackberries this week.  My arms show it, my legs show it, my fingernails show it....mercy it's a lot of work but I am hoping it will make some good jam.  I've also attempted my first crusted cobbler (more like a pie crust), and then a more traditional crumb topping cobbler.  Kids really liked the first one, we'll see how they feel about the second in the morning.  Looks and smells good anyway. I'm not a huge fan of baked fruit but I did try a bite with whip cream (LOTS of whip cream) and it was pretty tasty.

We went from this......(well technically I had a bin full but this picture is much cuter plus she picked and decorated these herself)
to this!
Less pretty, but I'm sure just as good.
