Violet Beauregard's Favorite

Why is Anni smiling?

Because this morning, she, David and I all headed over to the Mercer Slough for two hours of blueberry picking bliss. We picked lots and lots of berries!

 What did we do with all these berries? Well 12 cups worth immediately into pies! 2 cups worth went into lemon blueberry muffins. 2 cups went to a friend. 1 cups is destined for a salad tomorrow and another cup into the dressing. That leaves 12 cups for freezing! We had so much picking them that we can't wait to go back to the slough.

The pies prior to the tasting of the pies!

Can you spot all the gypsy peppers on this plant?

What are these strange orbs? Why, there the beginnings of this year's pumpkin crop! Yea!

And just to end with something pretty, the Asiatic lilies are blooming. The hummingbirds love them!
