Blueberries

So I was at my good friend Alissa's house yesterday. When I got there she suggested going to the local farm to pick blueberries. Which doesn't sound like a big deal I know, but if you knew me then you'd know I despise picking berries. Cam LOVES picking berries, he did it as a child and we always get invited to go picking with his parents every summer. When he asks me to go he always bribes me with chocolate strawberries and Starbucks. But how could I say no to Alissa's darling 6 month old daughter and the idea of fresh blueberries? So I went, without a fuss and without a Starbucks.

When Cam found out that I willingly went picking he was jokingly confused and furious. He requested a homemade blueberry pie immediately and so I figured I'd give it a try. You know, I've never baked a pie before.


Just waiting to go into the oven


All done and waiting for Cam to get home from work. What do you think?

pretty flowers

My husband really has a wonderful gift given by God to make landscapes gorgeous! And I am always excited when the flowers make their debut.





These are just a few I took pictures of today. There are many more ready to bloom in the next few days. And our vegetable garden is flourishing. We absolutely love our backyard oasis. The fish are even getting much bigger in their pond, hopefully I can get a close up picture of them soon.

I think tomorrow I'll be spending a lot of time outside :)
