Drowning in Blueberries

Friend and intern, Paul Horton, ran down to Georgia today to shake some more blueberry bushes. He came back with quite a few 5-gallon buckets. A friend there lets him harvest all the berries he can in exchange for helping keep the large patch in good shape.

I've never liked rhubarb but recently Erin Kirley (famous baker around here) made a strawberry-rhubarb pie and I kind of warmed to it. Then Cameron made this pie and I really think my tongue is changing. It was good. I reserve the word "great" for blueberry pie but it was very good. There is also some strawberry-rhubarb jam in the background that she canned. There's a great deal of food processing going on around here - peaches to freeze, jam and dry, apples into applesauce, berries into the freezer and blackberries into bellies. It is such an overflowing, abundant time of year. Food just keeps appearing on the countertops.
