The blueberries we picked Friday morning at Craig's in Etna Green. We first stopped at The Berry Patch but a closed sign had been posted. I don't know if they had no berries or just no ripe berries. The man at Craig's told me the Jersey berries we were picking were his late-season variety and about 2-3 weeks early. The ripe berries were not in easily-picked clusters; it took a lot longer to fill the bucket. We usually pick about 10 pounds, but this year we had 7.5 pounds. It was a beautiful day to be outside with a light breeze and lots of birdsong all around us.
Taking advantage of the nicer weather, we went to the boat-in worship at Oakwood on Lake Wawasee this morning. Maybe 50 boats surrounded the Lily Pad (large boat with pastor and musician and sound system). There were maybe 100 people listening from shore. The service is only 30 minutes. The sax player was very good.
Not many tomatoes at the farmers' market on Saturday. The Ambrosia sweetcorn was available; it had just started to ripen.
The 10 books I ordered from Better World Books arrived a few days ago. I will catalog them tomorrow while my laundry loads are washing. A pest control company comes tomorrow to spray the perimeter of the condos. I have had some ants this month, controlled with baits, but maybe this will completely stop the intrusion.
Summer continues to fly by. Trying to enjoy its pleasures.
