Saturday we went to Hick's Orchard in nearby Granville and picked a lot of blueberries and cherries. We had a great time harvesting all the fruit and then got to go back to the farmhouse for some very tasty cider donuts. Dan and I are just counting down til the apple harvest next month.
So far I've made a cherry pie, blueberry sauce and blueberry pie filling. We still have a ton of cherries left. Thank heavens for a big freezer in the basement.
Monday night we had breakfast for dinner. After the kids got over the idea of breakfast for dinner we enjoyed slathering our pancakes (and faces) with blueberry sauce. Hannah was adamant that the blueberry smears on her nose and cheeks, from licking her plate clean, did not exist and wouldn't let us take her picture. The boys proudly showed off their mess.

Mmmmm. . . berries. Mers, I can't believe how darling your kids are--Hannah looks just like you (and it sounds like she inherited some other stuff too!). How are you liking NY? Even though we're glad to be closer to family now, I miss the green of the east SO much. Miss you!
