Berry Time



The last few mornings I have been crazed. It has been lovely and cool and still. I have rolled out of bed, put on my shoes and headed for the berried all around my house. On Saturday morning Vivi joined me.



One of the first things we noticed was several piles of fresh bear poop. Lovely. At least they are leaving the garbage alone.



As you may recall, almost all the plants around my home are dwarved or miniature. The blueberries are no exception.



I felt like I was in a fairy land, with dew drenched spider webs.



And many, many mushrooms.



While I was at work yesterday evening Zoey took some of the berries and made pie. Her first pie. She did a great job, it was delicious.

I always seem to eat more berries than make it into my basket! Hmm The Blueberry pie looks wonderful!

Trixie, that picture of the blueberries and dewy spider web is so beautiful.
Zoey's pie looks wonderful too--very good for a first pie by herself.

Trixie--I haven't been to your blog for a bit.
My, what lovely photos! Just gorgeous! And the look on Vivi's face--priceless.

Dang! Miss Zoey can bake!
It's weird seeing Vivi in a hat and coat! Don't you all know it's August, for crissakes!
