Blackberry time

So, with our new house came a lovely blackberry bush that seems to be putting off a ton of berries. More than we are ever going to eat and the birds and critters don't seem too interested either.


My oldest, Savanna, turned 10 this past Sunday and her request for breakfast was pancakes.

So, I got up extra-early and picked some blackberries to go in the pancakes. I put on coffee, bacon and warmed up the honest-to-goodness maple syrup and we were good to go ... and we weren't that late to church.


There's no secret to my pancakes except that I always use the good ol' Better Homes and Garden's recipe. Never fails.
