Yes: a big tub of blueberries. That can mean only one thing... that the blueberries are ripe at Buffalo Creek Farm! Last year was the first time we picked blueberries ourselves and we got there a little late, but this year we are prepared to stock up for months! :) We picked 6 gallons of blueberries yesterday morning and a peck of peaches.
The last two days have been stormy in the evenings. Yesterday we drove home from Athens in ridiculously windy rain and hail. It was so bad that we had to pull into a parking lot to wait it out a bit - we couldn't even see the road.
After the storm yesterday it was really cool outside and so Henry and I read on my bed while the cold air came in through the window. It was loooovely.
Then we went outside and made ice cream...
You know, I think Lucy's ears are bigger than Henry's. Hehe. They are so funny together - Henry sticks his face up near her and she just grabs onto it wherever she can as quick as lightening.
So this morning we went to the Farmer's Market. I won't describe the crazy things we did to get there with cash in time to shop before my Pilates class. :P The important thing is that we DID get there, and we did find yummy food to buy, as you can see.
We had another short but wild storm tonight. These crazy clouds started to appear while we were making dinner, accompanied by strong wind and finally some rain. It was short-lived, but the clouds were amazing. These photos are nearly straight out of the camera - the only help they have were a SLIGHT contrast boost - no clarity, color or exposure changes.
We made hot chocolate after dinner, because Mother is awesome and thought of it. We got to use my mugs for the first time, seeing as summer isn't usually the season for hot drinks.
And I'll end with a gorgeous sunset.
No, I lied. I have to mention something else. Remember when I said I was sad not to be obsessed with something - a show, an actor, a band, etc? Well. Now I am. I bloody love Parks & Recreation, Ron F***ing Swanson (his words, not mine), His Mustache, Mumford & Sons, and... can anyone guess? Fassbender. Okay fine, I'll stop talking about Fassbender. But the point here is not that I am sometimes an obsessed fangirl (does anyone here remember how gaga I was for the X-Files?), but that I love being in love with these things. So thank you, Logan & Erin, for finally making me watch Parks & Recreation (and the Office, which made me just as happy) because every time I think of that dimpled, mustachioed face I start grinning.
Oh oh, also, we just started watching Modern Family - too cute. Not obsessed as of yet, but definitely plan on watching the rest of the series. :) I'm a sucker for shows that interview characters. Mom thinks they are all Office copy-cats, but I think they are all genius.
Okay, calming down. You can have that sunset now:
