We have blackberries in our backyard!! They have really only showed up this year...they are growing from the open field behind our backyard--up and over the fence! I was so excited when I discovered them. I love berries, and blackberries are among my favorite. We also enjoy berry picking each summer, so it was pretty convenient this year :) Some of my fondest childhood memories are berry picking with my dad and sisters. I do, realize, though that blackberries have a tendency to "take over." So, perhaps when we come back in a couple of years I won't be so pleased to find them...everywhere! :) But for now, we're enjoying them...last night I picked the berries and made fresh blackberry cobbler for the first time, served beneath a scoop of vanilla icecream. And this morning we enjoyed our oatmeal topped with berries! Yum!!

YUMMY!!! We had huge clumps of blackberry bushes in Missouri. We loved picking them and eating them. I love blackberry pie and cool whip, but that cobbler and ice cream sounds divine!! Love you- So, when are you coming to Michigan again. Oh, I guess it is slightly out of the way. I wish we were on the way to TX though : )
Oooh Yumm!!!
