That idyllic clothesline was my Mom's.
The front of my yarrow dress isn't as exciting as the back, but someday I'll take a picture of it.
I have big plans for updating my gardening posts to make them "useful".
Now, down to business:
We went to Butlers Orchards to pick blueberries. It was a beautiful day, and by "beautiful" I mean 95+ and very humid. Still, the kids were all excited to pick. Happy to be outside (and on a tractor ride to the fields)....
....until we left the shade.
Then Cozy quickly retired from picking and decided to lay in the shade of a blueberry bush, as if she were dead. A nearby toddler was quite concerned and kept throwing blueberries at her to see if she would stir.
Cozette: Growl. Roll over. Continue possum impersonation.
Not to worry, she revived quickly once we got back on the "bus".
James - not so much.
Annika was my only decent picker. She and I each filled a big ice cream container.
By the time we got to the snap peas, the littles had revived and wanted to pick again.
...and, while I was there, I picked up some locally-grown produce.
Went home. Collapsed. The End.
Yum! I want blueberries!
ReplyDeleteOur blueberries are still very green, but there are a lot of them. I'm sad you won't be here to pick them when they get ripe. I love the photos of the kids. It looks like it was a very fun outing.
ReplyDeleteA local friend commented on how the rest of the country was having a heat wave and we are the only ones that aren't...I can't say how glad I am of that! As it is I sleep half the night with just a sheet on me.
ReplyDeleteThe story and pic of Cozy remind me of the commercial that's playing now where the father gets the kids a possum instead of a puppy (to save money)...have you seen that one?
I love the picture of John and Cozy on the wagon ride, I'm not used to his hair being so long. Poor Cozy she must have really been beat, and yes she does look alittle dead. She wasn't asleep? So funny some random kid threw blueberries at her. Jessica sweets been here and she thinks your kids are so cute and do and say the funniest things. And I told her it was all true. love you
