Blueberry Picking Time

This has been one of the best years for blueberries that I can remember. I have been picking berries in the Valley for over 50 years, so that is saying something. We have been picking buckets of them. There are literaly miles and miles of berries. I guess the cool wet summer has been good for something!

The pantry shelves are full of delicious sauces and jellies, and the freezer is stuffed with bags and bags of beautiful berries.

The Biggest Lilac

As the summer winds down, it is fun to look at some of the images we enjoyed this year. This was one of the best bloom years we have had .... possibly ever.
Bonnie Culp's lilacs were spectacular again. Here is a picture of Villosa. I think it must be the biggest lilac in the Robson Valley.
