 | Comments: |
Some blueberries just starting to soften on the vine. The less sunny areas still have firm ones, and some of those little tiny ones are really flavorful right now.
In about ten years, scientists will discover that blueberries provide an amazing health benefit, but the benefit only occurs if you gorge upon them.
Great weather, had a wonderful refreshing breeze on Major around 5-6pm, which was really nice after being slightly hot all afternoon. |
