Mmmm....Blueberries:)

If you're paying attention, I'm a week behind, because I didn't post anything last week. It's been a busy one with school starting, but I want to keep my momentum, so I'll try to post twice this weekend. A few weeks ago, Tami, her sister Lori, Lori's husband Jerry, and I went to a nearby blueberry farm and picked about 70 lbs. of blueberries - combined (I can only take credit for 7.5 of those pounds). It takes longer than you think! I thought this post was especially appropriate considering what Tami has been going through lately. She has major eye surgery coming up and on top of that she had an appendicitis - a very bad case. Hopefully, when she sees this post, it will brighten her day:)

Yes, the owners of the blueberry farm last name was Blue...how adorable!!!

Tami - demonstrating the talent and art of picking blueberries...

After picking blueberries for a while, we all went back to Lori and Jerry's house and they made us the most delicious breakfast: fresh blueberry pancakes and sausage...mmm, mmm, mmm! I know I talk about food a lot, but it was too good not to mention:) The picture above and below are of Lori's beautiful garden. I could have stayed there for days taking pictures. I didn't get a good shot, but her hummingbird feeder was swarmed with hummingbirds!

Butterflies are my absolute favorite!

Here it is, the end result! The first time I had ever made lattice for a pie. Actually the first time I had made a crust of any sort. Give me a tiny break on the lattice - my hubs wouldn't;p A few days ago, I made another pie, but the lattice was so much better looking. Unfortunately, I have a sentimental attachment to my first, so I posted this one instead of the pretty pie. In fact, I didn't take a picture of the second one, so I wouldn't be tempted to post it. Very tasty either way!
