Backyard Bounty

August 4th, 2011 at 10:38 pm

I went for my daily walk around the yard today and I didn't feel faint at all, so maybe that has passed. I hope so. Then I sat in the yard in the sun for about five minutes next to the blackberries and plucked off about 2 cups worth of fat, ripe, juicy, dark berries (and there are plenty more coming on) and then moved over to the bench beside one of the blueberry bushes for another five minutes and got about 2 cups worth of luscious ripe little blueberries. My son was with me, making sure I didn't get dizzy and helping to pick. The blueberry bushes are loaded. I told mom she needs to get out there tonight when it is cooler or she is going to lose them to the birds. DS and DD will help her pick. I've exerted myself to the limit allowed for the day. Free is my favorite price for organic food. Maybe I will just go with the Jiffy cornbread and add blueberries in.

    They look good and somehow, free fruit seems to taste sweeter. Glad you didn't get dizzy.

    Thanks. They are delicious and the cornbread muffins turned out wonderfully well. I will definitely do that again.

    Beautiful! I made a blueberry loaf cake this week that was fantastic. I wish I had your berries!
