Berries - and more!

Berries - and "more."

This is a picture of some of the berries we have been picking for several days.  In the strainer in the left front are blueberries.  The colander just behind the strainer has thornless blackberries in it, and the stainless steel colander has wild blackberries.  Of course, the oblong container holds green beans, already broken and ready for the next step.  They are the "more" at this point.:-)

For the next few days, I will be trying to post a recipe or two illustrating how we enjoy these wonderful "fruits of the harvest."  There will more than likely be some "off-site" items included.:-) The Husband, after playing 18 holes of golf today, went to a pick-your-own orchard and returned with some wonderful local peaches!:-)  Well, they (just like everything else) won't last forever, so we will be working to use them as well.

This was a most enjoyable day!  I played bridge awhile at the Senior Center, then left there to meet fellow retirees from my school for lunch at a place none of them had tried before.  They all left with a very favorable impression, thankfully.  I had chosen the place from the experience members of our family have had there, so it was good that everyone seemed to like it as well.

It has been nice to have a "cool front" come through today, along with a very nice breeze.  It will be short-lived, however, and I am already trying to come up with ways to keep cool in the heat that is coming all too soon.

I hope each of you has had a good Tuesday.  Thank you for reading, and I hope you will return.  I truly enjoy your comments.

  3. I love picking blueberries - there's something peaceful and meditative when you are quietly going from bush to bush. Then you can have berries the rest of the season! Lovely,

  7. Those berries look wonderful. I am glad you had fun with your friends today and that everyone liked the eatery you picked. It looks like it is going to be miserable weather through most of the country this week- xo Diana
