berries and magic.

yesterday, my dear hannah lack and i went on an adventure. it started with some blackberry thickets...and thorns...and ended with baked goodness.
We wanted to have a good day of quality time, so we drove up a backroad in Sutter Creek, walked through a dry creek and picked berries to our heart's delight. I might have slipped and landed on some blackberry vines. whatever. Then we went to my house:

And boiled them with lotssss of sugar.

Then, we filled these jars with the goods:

We boiled them for a long time, and then took them out to cool:

Oh yeah, we made this too,

And this:

The End!
