Well, I wasn't selected as a juror...
...so
...it's back to the blue lake, the blue sky, the blue mountains...
and our blueberry patches!
I can't say I'm not pretty happy about that!
Even though I'm still nursing the mosquito bites covering my legs...
(the result of last week's berry picking)
...it's worth the itch and I'm ready to pick more!
You see, if we don't pick those plump juicy berries
just as soon as they are ripe...
...the bears and the birds strip the bushes clean!
What's a few mosquito bites when fresh berries are available?
I know Dad, Uncle Don and Mr. Flea
will be happy to eat some blueberry pancakes this week!
So...tomorrow I travel back north and of course,
I will stop at my little booth at Schoolhouse Treasures
and add a few more goodies that I just happened to dig up
this afternoon while sorting through things.
And...of course, I will stop here and there along the way.
I wonder what I will find this time?
I hope your week is off to a good start!
:)

That blueberry picture looked like it could be lifted right off the screen. What is it about this wonderful, magical, tiny blue??? Also, can't believe how much bluer they look with their green leaves. A lovely blue post Laura!
What amazing photos and blueberry pancakes sound delicious!
Hugs, Cheryl
Lovely pictures!! Love the colour of the blue berries ( and the taste :-)

Enjoy your week darling....lots of love.....xxx....
That's a good load of blueberries. I've had the total of three berries from mine but still delicious. xx
How appropriate that you should mention blueberries Laura, I was at the garden centre yesterday and they had lots of blueberry plants. The friend thaat I was with said her blueberry plants had had so much fruit this year. It is obviously a very good year for blueberries !!
Hope that your bites get better soon and that you find lots of wonderful treasures on your journey back. XXXX
BEARS! OH heck no. Our blueberries are just about finished for the season. Have enjoyed a couple of blueberry cobblers and the rest are in the freezer.
Good for you about the jury selection! I love blueberries! Great photos!

Oh those look delicious. I added some blueberries to my smoothie this morning. I wish I could find some fresh ones like yours.
Yum, yum - the glories of fresh-picked fruit! Not only does the fruit taste terrific, but it's very photogenic, as well. ;)
Happy berry picking.

I love your blueberry pictures! One of my favorite books was "Blueberry's for Sal!" This brings back such great memories! My favoite dessert - Homemade Blueberry pie and you get to eat the pie crusts while the pie is cooking from the left over homemade pie shell. Oh yummy!!!! What great pictures! Too bad for the birds and the bears!! I bet they are sad they are missing out!
Glad you are back home and thanks for the pictures and memories!

Yummy, I want to hurry and bake a blueberry pie!
Do you have a button to grab for me to put on my blog? http.//theredpaintedcottage.blogspot.com

What pretty pictures! Love the blues....I don't think I've ever seen a blueberry bush; only blueberries from the grocery store. How lucky you are to have blueberries to pick!
Happy Summer Ya'll!

Blueberries! I live in Colorado now but I grew up in Vermont. This is my first visit to your beautiful blog and I am guessing you are in upstate NY? How I loved to go blueberry picking as a child! I planted 3 blueberry bushes last year and they came back this year but no blueberries :( I am hoping they have to get themselves esblished and it will just take time.
I loved all of your photos, they were just beautiful and really took me back in time.
Love your blog!

Yum! I've been freezing quarts and quarts of blueberries lately for the long, cold winter ahead. There's nothing like a warm blueberry pie while the snow flies outside! :)
