I do know the term is particularly associated with the U.S. West (& possibly the Canadian West, too); it appears in various old songs & stories & is in common usage out here; it wasn't a term that was used in New England where I grew up, & I don't recall hearing it in Virginia either. I'll see if I can find out anything about the origin of the use.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-77272705819063853782009-04-17T00:03:00.000-07:002009-04-17T00:03:00.000-07:00Blackberry cobbler is lovely.

It's a mix of blackberries, early apples, and whatever other berries are around - usually raspberries and/or blueberries. Nothing beats it. I like the word 'draw.'I looked it up and only found 'a shallow depression that water runs into.' I wonder what the etymology is.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11908332538776254864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-68499931792437536202009-04-16T12:47:00.000-07:002009-04-16T12:47:00.000-07:00Hi Kat & Willow!

What do you think: "Travels with Weenie"?<br /><br />Willow: That sounds great-- I'd love to see the recipe.

She's the baker in the household.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the walk.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-28006732464271303732009-04-16T08:17:00.000-07:002009-04-16T08:17:00.000-07:00I enjoyed that walk so much, thank you for sharing...I enjoyed that walk so much, thank you for sharing it with me. And blackberry cobbler sounds so good right now. Do you have a recipe to share. Costco is selling them right now and I know it would not be the same as your blackberries, but it still sounds so good.<br /><br />I loved the pictures and wish I could have really been walking there. I love how the cat goes with you, this is really great.<br /><br />Take care and God bless.Mrsupolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563854387767106508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-49710656980821364692009-04-16T06:01:00.000-07:002009-04-16T06:01:00.000-07:00Thanks Reya:

But she does like to hang out with us & follow us when we're doing things outdoors.<br /><br />So glad you liked this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-3706887866467409362009-04-16T05:58:00.000-07:002009-04-16T05:58:00.000-07:00I love it that Weenie goes for walks with you.

It'll be so fun to watch the season progress.<br /><br />The gate you built is beautiful. That first picture could be a painting. <br /><br />Thanks for taking me along on your walk.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.com
