A gorgeous cup shaped fridge/freezer container w/ lid..a gift from one of my daughters filled w/ blueberries picked by none other;)
So many recipes.. what to make quickly one morning before hitting the garden path?
Why these of course..proven winners;) A recipe from my other daughter..:)I made 8 instead of 12.
From the great year 2009.Geesh almost 10 yrs ago.
A wonderful year.
Instagram had a Granny Square Day..I picked the one above..
No secret..I have the blues..in a garden..:)
Having les bleus..in French means you are down in the dumps..
Having des bleuets.. in French means having blueberries.
I prefer the latter;)
Always.
What a haul of blueberries! Ask Noah if he will work for me. I love them. I have an affinity for blue too. I wondered if your porch is glassed in? What fun to sit out there in winter too.
ReplyDeleteI didn't go with them..they brought me some the next day:) It's screened~ in..front and back so always a bit of air:) and only 3 seasons..Locked up for winter lol:)
DeleteI always love your beautiful photographs. Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits!
ReplyDeleteI love every type of blues, in fruits of course, in clothes and especially in lovely china.
ReplyDeleteLove this colour is my favorite.
A lovely blue post. (I was a little down you know why Im better) sigh!
hugs!
I am glad♥
DeleteLove that mug!! How thoughtful! And that sweet boy!!!:o)
ReplyDeleteI have been eating blueberries like crazy...and freezing for the winter...no baking here...perhaps next week with Miss V...coming for 3 days💙
Your porch looks so inviting...your Ferns are so healthy!!!
Bit of rain here today...got out this am, for some last minute grocery shopping...off to the cottage in the am...
enjoy your day Monique!!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
I love the big mug too! The ferns do so well..next yr they are going on the front porch again..I switched it up this yr w/ scaveolas and nope..not the same effect at all..full on sun all day..had 2 of the boys..not in one minute..Athletes that love the outdoors:)♥
DeleteIt was a great day.♥
Good for you! Did they eat your blueberry muffins?💙
DeleteThey did but last time..this time Ice cream cones:) After lunch:) and later in the day I gave them the rest of the small ice cream containers :):)
DeleteOh they love visiting their Nana💋
DeleteI wrote my thoughts and was not signed in, sometimes it does this to me and then I lose what I wrote😩. I see you did get cracking and made the boys a treat for the blueberries they brought you. It must have been crazy hot picking berries. But Nana made it worth their while. I love your porch too. How do you manage to reach that fern up so high? And the granny square blue yarn is a perfect match to the blueberries in Noah’s basket. Enjoy the weekend, I think next week the weather is going to cool down a bit.
ReplyDeleteI stand on the chair lol..I can water w/out climbing ..and could prob hang it but it's higher than my comfort reach..w/ a weight..:)Do you have to sign in every time? Yikes I so appreciate your work!!Going to email you:)
DeleteBe careful even on the chair. You don’t want any falls... No I do t have to sign in every time so I don’t think to check and then when I hit the publish button it’s gone. Only happens once in a while.
DeleteI prefer the latter also! I love blueberries. That cup with the berries, soooooooo pretty, as well your granny square, you wee blueberry picker, etc. I LOVE IT ALL! What a lovely porch. I can imagine sitting on it and cooling off in the evenings. What a joy that must be! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a sitter:) But once in a while I plop the hummingbird on the loveseat lie down and read:) Maybe twice:) I've also painted in there.That I love:)
DeleteBeautiful !
ReplyDeleteMerci!
DeleteI prefer les bleuets too! In fact, I have rather a lot in the fridge that must get used soon so I suspect muffins may be in order. Maybe these! They look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI adore blue in all its forms. So every photo here speaks to me but my favorite is -- Noah? I think. I might be getting them mixed up but that is a "framer." Best frame you have -- and hanging in the kitchen I think!
Thanks for coming by this morning. I watched the movie last night. I actually did know a lot of the actors -- three were in Downton and one in Doc Martin! I wish it had been a five-part mini-series. They had to cut a lot from the book, for time, I suppose. But I really did love it! Hugs to you and happy weekend, too!
They did cut a lot..but I read the book so long ago ..:) Maybe that helped..I loved the 2 together:) And that Kit..I could adopt her if I wasn't a senior.Lol.
DeleteLove blue too..I see a beautiful artist on IG and she sometimes posts her colors..magnifiques bleus:)
It is Noah..you're good:) VG!!!
Bon weekend Jeanie!
Blueberries are the best. I could eat an entire pint in minutes. Some of my family don't like them and I am stunned every year. So many things to do with them. Noah looks very proud.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend
Cindy
Thank you Cindy..you too!
DeleteOh I love them..and so good for us!
You are right re Noah:) he likes to pick..the most:)
Oh my, look at all of those beautiful blueberries Noah is holding! I just made a peach and blueberry cobbler from our gourmet group menu today for when Lauren and Wes come over for dinner later. It was a hit. Now I have a whole bag of wild blueberries in the freezer. I must make those muffins! They look delicious! I'd rather have these blues any day also :) What a neat mug and your porch looks so inviting :)
ReplyDeleteMerci ma petite amie..The last 35 yrs or so have seen us w/ a screened-in-porch of sorts..hard to not have one after you have.Love to read in there..we have speakers..so soft music can play.I love that no one can see me:)
DeleteEnjoy your dinner:)I know you will and bon weekend.Isn't it fun when your kids are your friends too?:)♥
Blues are my favorite color for the garden.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteGive me a generous bowl of blueberries, topped with yogurt or whipped cream and I am in heaven! I felt the urge for them just looking at your pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your casual screened in porch. It's a must if you want to be outdoors bur protected from the elements and bugs. We are screening in our balcony off the master bedroom to get more use of it.
Beautiful post, Monique!

Thanks Jane..hope you saw my Netflix recommendations..:) We are running out of shows!
DeleteGreat, great post, my dear..
ReplyDeleteBlue is my favourite colour .
Have a nice Sunday
Xoxo
You too Nina..Bon Dimanche..hot and sunny here..
DeleteA beautiful post...lovely picures!
ReplyDeleteHave a sunny sunday!
Titti
Thank you Titti!:)It's full on sun today!
DeleteLove that blue cup!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a watercolor...I had to look twice and closely ❤️
The colors are beautiful aren't they?♥
DeleteDearest Monique,
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous blueberries you have and what a lovely collection of photos about the subject here!
Indeed, we ought to prefer blueberries instead of feeling blue!
Hugs,
Mariette
Indeed..sometimes.. it's beyond our control....and no blueberries in sight:)
DeleteBonne journée!!
That blue cup is gorgeous. Fresh blueberries are so good. Great photos, loved seeing the granny square. Reminds me when i was younger and crocheted.
ReplyDelete:) Thanks Linda!
DeleteLove all the blues... :)
ReplyDelete♥Me too:)
DeleteOooh, Blue....It is blueberry season here in Maine too! Before the ticks I used to love going picking on mountain tops. Aren't they the so cute, and supposed to be so good for us too! I read recently that blue is the favorite color all over the world (by surveys). It sure is mine. If I were a baker I would bake all kinds of blueberry things!
ReplyDeleteI've been to 2 art exhibitions on the color Blue: One at Le musée de la civilization à Québec, and the other at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. I might have posted my notes from Le musée on my blog, long time ago...
Your summer porch is adorb, as Carol would say!
♥So true..adorb!That is Carol and I have used her abbreviation.
DeleteThinking of blue DS colors these days:)Some are so vibrant.I love Indanthrone!
