Saturday...Summer...Fun....

A Blueberry Kind of Weekend

The blueberries are not quite ripe yet. Maybe in another week or two.

Taking a break.

These plants were growing all over the park. See how they naturally twine? So cool!

I think my camera moved while taking this shot.

We were able to find about a cup of ripe berries.

Mmmmm muffins!

On Saturday we spent about an hour walking through Charlotte's Blueberry Park.  I just found this park last year. It is so awesome. It used to be a blueberry farm and was then turned over to the city. The park is open to the public and has some very nice trails and several thousand blueberry bushes for the picking. The berries were not quite ripe this visit. We still managed to find a cup full. Bright and early Sunday morning we made Blueberry Muffins.  So good!

     

How was your weekend?

An Evening to Remember

Monday afternoon I rounded up Heaven and Lil Bear and we headed to my sister's house. Upon arriving, we promptly jumped in her pool and stayed there for the next two hours. Once we were cooled off Lil Bear hopped into his red wagon and we walked around the property. The lovely berries are Salmon berries and were abundantly growing along part of the fence line. They were so delicious. I walked and pulled the wagon while Lil Bear munched on berries and enjoyed the ride. My sister also has huge Rose Hip bushes dividing her property from her neighbors. Now to find uses for them. Any ideas? After the sun went down we did some pre fourth of July party set-up. Lil Bear was a little hesitant to go under the canopy, but he finally found the nerve! My brother in law was tasked with cleaning up the yard. You can see his idea of pulling weeds... a blowtorch! All in all a very relaxing and fun evening with family.

Hoping you all a safe and Happy Forth!
