Blueberry Thursday

Melany came this morning...a bit later than she planned, as we had a storm come up and had lots of rain over the early hours of the morning. we got over an inch. I was going to go out and check exactly how much...but it is thundering...again. Melany continued in the long garden that goes along the driveway and, she a l m o s t finished it. But she did lots of other things besides weeding...weedeated, planted some more ground cover that she brought from her house, dug out an intrusive tree...that we had cut back multiple times. This time she went down to the root...maybe she got it out and it will stay away. It was a small mimosa tree that wasn't welcome in the garden! I'm hearing rain drops...guess it is raining...again. When she got to the stopping place for today, we had lunch. After lunch, we went out to the "back forty" (my lot behind the house) and picked blueberries from the blueberry bushes that Nathan planted years ago. Nathan came yesterday and picked blueberries and told me that I should go out and pick some. So Melany and I did just that. She took home about a quart and, I kept enough for some blueberry muffins. This evening I took a few pictures of the branches with blueberries at various ripeness.Yum! Lots more to ripen and be picked over the next days...perhaps weeks! I hadn't even thought to look at the bushes this year and figured since we hadn't netted them that the birds had probably helped themselves to them and probably left not many for us to eat. Anyway, the bushes are really loaded this year...I guess...enough for the birdies and for us! It has been a nice day. I will admit to being tired and did take a short nap after Melany left. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautioius!
