blueberries

This shot was taken out behind my garden. The blueberries are almost done, but yesterday, I noticed we have more blackberries moving in. Also the raspberries are spreading this way. All of these ground plants are great for the birds, and I do see lots of them in and out of the various berry patches all day.

I sometimes pick the berries for muffins out there. There is nothing like wild maine blueberries. If I have to buy berries, I get Wyman’s Wild Blueberries, they are frozen, but make good pies and muffins, and even work well in yogurt.

I love blackberry jelly, so I hope the black berry vines keep coming. When I first moved up from Oklahoma, my family used to send me packages of blackberry jelly and pinto beans! Now, thank goodness, I can get both of those items here in our market.

As usual when I write about food, I made myself hungry! I am off to get some breakfast–maybe something with blueberries.
