The Blackberries are Amazing! Check out my Cobbler Recipe!

One of the best reasons I LOVE living in the Tri-Cities is for the fresh watermelons available. I NEVER knew that Hermiston is so well-known for it. Every summer, I look forward to getting one.

A couple of weeks ago, one arrived at my doorstep, literally. Oscar and Sebastian had a deal that was too good to pass up.

The other day my husband brought home the biggest blackberries I've ever seen. I know that he purchased them at the roadside stand around the corner from our home.

I took them to work with me the next day and paired those delicious blackberries with oatmeal and yogurt. What a delicious snack! I knew I had to get more. and, I did on Friday. After googling recipes I've decided I'm going to prepare a delicious cobbler. That is if they last.

So, it's not really my recipe. It's Betty Crocker's, and it is so good!

I picked up a few other items, including the biggest cantaloupe I've ever seen. My husband asked the clerk if we had a good one. She told us we made a great choice and that it would be "ready to enjoy today." Well, we waited a day later, and it is the MOST DELICIOUS cantaloupe I've ever had. Score!

The best thing about all this fresh produce is that we're supporting LOCAL people. I know times are tough. I feel better when my dollars are supporting local businesses. It's a tough time right now. I'm thankful I can shop at the fruit stand around the corner.
