The fourth and her blueberries

HA! and you thought I was revealing the gender of our upcoming baby. Only the docs know.......

Sittin' in the evening sun.... at our cabin for 4th of July weekend is my absolute favorite summer activity. Jeff, Mad, and I arrived just a evening ahead of the rest of the crew... and 7-8 pm is the most wonderful time to just watch the waves go by.



....or examine your toes...



oh, I wish I was back there now!




This picture is from my kitchen!!! Not finished yet, but with just enough capability to make me want to put something in jars. I put together this blueberry sauce with the gallon that I bought at the lake. I love how their sweet little blueberry cheeks press themselves to the sides of the jar.

Here's the recipe: (thank you Tyler Florence)


2 tablespoons butter
2 pints blueberries
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 lemon, juiced

Combine the butter, blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a small pot over medium-high heat. Bring up to a low boil and stir gently until the berries break down and release their natural juices. The consistency should remain a bit chunky. It will thicken up when it cools down slightly.

It's wonderful over anything- ice cream, pound cake, cheesecake, the back of your hand.....as it barely drips over the spoon. Excuse me....
