This morning, despite the threat of rain, we made a trip out to Sweet Berry Farm in Marble Falls to pick some blackberries. Once we got there it was overcast and breezy which was actually perfectly comfortable while we worked. We ended up leaving with two pounds of new potatoes and about eight pounds of blackberries. Mike is asking for a cobbler and I'm hoping to make some blackberry preserves so we can remember such a fun day for months to come. I'll be sure to post the results on my food blog.

Quinn got stuck in a berry bush. The thorns are quite treacherous and grabbed onto her hair.
She quickly called for help.
