It's blackberry picking time!

I want my kids to have those memories. You know the ones where you wander through the woods, basket in hand searching for berries to pick. A few minor wounds from thorny bushes and fingers stained with berry juice - Those memories!

So after church we went to the farm and picked
blackberries - my dad, step-mother and Heather joined us. the kids LOVED every minute of it! It’s been hot and dry so the pickings were very slim but we managed to pick enough for a cobbler.

I even posted the family recipe below... I can't give you the crust recipe tho, I was sworn to secrecy!
