Today is a holiday in Canada. Just because there is no other holiday in August! Don’t you Americans wish you lived here? So today we all went blueberry picking. The boys did really well – even Josiah We took the pad from the play-pen and sat him on it in the middle of the bush. He seemed to like it! Then he took a nice long nap in the play-pen in the shad of the van. I didn’t know he’d do that1 The blueberries are better than last year (that’s not difficult) but not stupendous. Together we picked over 4 gallons. So, that’s a good dent in what I want for this year. And now I have lots of blueberries to clean tomorrow! :-)
When we got home, I picked two bucket of beans. I had gotten some moose steak out of the freezer for supper and the rest of our supper came out of the garden. I don’t think I’ve ever done that before and it was really fun. We had beets, beans, grilled zuchini, cucumbers, and three itty bitty carrots. And of course, blueberries for dessert. Unfortunately, we didn’t raise the milk and yogurt we had with them! It was all quite delicious! And it gave me a good reminder of God’s goodness and abundance!!
By the way, picking blueberries is hard work and I sorta feel like an old woman tonight!

I'm impressed...blueberry picking, gardening, cooking, etc...you're going to have to rest when it gets cold. :)
If you'd live next to us I give you some of our home grown milk and yogurt!
Mom and I did 16 dozen ears of corn today and I am sorta feeling like an old lady tonight also=) Hope you enjoy the blueberries.
Ah, yes, that's what was missing, Becky's milk (well, from her cows, actually) and Jennifer's corn! Sigh!
I stand amazed at the pioneer women!
so, is this Becky, the real Becky? Like, not an imposter or something? And if so, when might you show up on my blog? :)
