Blueberries

Hey everybody! I know that it's been quite a while since I posted. The season is wrapping up in almost two weeks, and there's been a lot of work to do! But even though we've been so busy working, Jonny and I still find the time to go on some adventures. What did we do this time?

Berry-picking!!

Here's Lena Point Trail. It's out the road.

Everywhere you looked, you could see bushes dotted with bright red berries. These are red huckleberries.

And even more bushes were weighed down by large, juicy blueberries!

This is how our hands looked by the end of it. The berry juice stains your hands as you pluck them from the bushes.

After we had enough berries, Jonny and I sat out on Lena Point to watch the sun set. We even saw a whale breach two times from the cliff!

After we got home, we organized our haul. Three bags of blueberries and one bag of huckleberries.

Washing the berries.

I put them into a tupperware in the fridge so they would last longer. Any time I felt that a recipe could benefit from adding some blueberries, I pulled them out and tossed them in!

Blueberry pancakes!

Blueberry coffeecake.

Lemon and blueberry scones.

And blueberry muffins!

These berries are just bursting with flavor!

Needless to say, we sure have a lot of baked goods around the house lately! These berry-filled desserts are a sweet way to say goodbye to summer.

That's all for now!
