Nothing to cry about, quite the contrary! This lace-cap hydrangea serrata is attracting lots of visitors, both humans and pollinators. So happy that our buzzing friends (the buzzing insects, not the humans) are finding nourishment throughout the gardens.
And, it’s blueberry season here in Maine! I’ve picked up a carload of blueberries from my friend’s farm in Washington. Ten 10 lb. boxes of blueberries for here and for friends. Of course, we will freeze most of them, but a couple of fresh pies will be made and some blueberry ice cream cranked out. Like I said, nothing to cry about!!! Yum! Summer at its best!

Blue is my favorite color! I’ve even come up with a new shade—Maya blue. 😉
Maya Blue…very nice, exactly what shade?
Why, the blue on the cover of my book. 😉 Dark blue, sapphire blue.
I don’t like blueberries (or lobster, how did I wind up in Maine? POTATOES of course!)but I do love the color of those berries. Nothing as pretty as a field of blue and green that later turns to scarlet, right?
We can’t all jump for joy over the things that end up on our plates. Potatoes are good ol’ Maine grub…any way you serve them. just don’t ask me to wash it down with Moxie…yuk!
Lol, moxie, no way! Blueberries look so pretty and they grow here with no complaints, so I feel guilty for not liking them, lol.
D > Our equivalent is a Bilberry and Apple Pie. Summer, with custard!
Yum!
Oh, I do love your idea of ‘blue.’ 🙂
A little garden delight and a little pie and ice cream, not a bad combo! Always glad to hear from you , Judy. We need rain! You, too?
The hydrangea is beautiful. And thanks for the reminder that I need to get blueberries.
Don’t go through the winter without some bags of blueberries in the freezer! Of course there is always that long list of what to do with fresh berries….from blueberry muffins and pie to a tall stack of blueberry pancakes for breakfast! Lots and lots of yummy possibilities!
Beautiful, beautiful, bountiful blues!
