Happy Birthday Richie

Today is Rich's birthday. We were not able to go anywhere to celebrate because he is working but I wanted to share some other things we did to help make the day special. This is the card I made him.

The Kestrel is his new favorite bird. I didn't have any Kestrel stamps but found this image doing an internet search then incorporated it into the card. A few years after we moved into our house Rich planted a Blackberry Bush. This year it has finally been productive and has tons of blackberries on it. He goes out every day and picks the berries. As you can see there are not many left right now.

Because he loves them so much I suggested to Emilia that we make him a blackberry cobbler. This is the recipe we used. We made it a little healthier though by using fat free milk and whole wheat flour. These were the blackberries before they went into the cobbler

This is what it looked like after it was baked

This what it looked like after we cut into it. He said he really like it.

He also had sushi for dinner. Overall I think he had a pretty good birthday. That's all for now. I will be back tomorrow with my bloghop project.
