blueberry season

There's been a lot of blueberry picking going on

for the last couple weeks.

Our blueberry bushes are quite loaded with

berries this year, though the Japanese beetles

have taken a toll on a fair amount of them.

Most of the blueberries are being frozen,

some dehydrated for scones or granola,

and some have found their way into a pie,

some smoothies,

or blueberry buckle.

When I don't feel like heading out to pick ~again~

I think of how good they will taste mid-winter.

It's an extra special tea time

that's enjoyed outside, with a piece

of fresh blueberry pie

and some new library books

to look through...

I'll be back with a peek at the

books I found.
