working hard (or hardly working?) for our blackberry cobbler
today, we picked blackberries near our house to make a cobbler {see recipe below} . there were so many ripe berries that we figured we should put them to good use! this was the extent of my harvest. luckily, it wasnt only up to me to fill the bowls.
when we first got there, the sheep ran away. but after awhile, they came back and started baaaing right in our faces. it was so much fun.
tucker and tagg think they are so handsome. 
craig was our blackberry daddy warbucks. taking one for the team. so he got the first helping of the cobbler.
the final result. this is the BEST berry dessert i have ever had. and that is not a hyperbole. it has a scone-type topping and tapioca mixed in with the blackberries. trust me, you are going to want to try this sucker out:{blackberry cobbler}
