- I felt a little pang at the grocery store last night, when the only blueberries were outrageously expensive, which means summer fruit is on the wane. I should have stockpiled more in the freezer! A Whole Foods employee told me once to stick them in the freezer in the plastic container they usually come in (unwashed) - and wash them after they are thawed. They are slightly softer after being frozen, but still good. I have loved the Georgia peaches and the blueberries from anywhere!
- The birds were loving that grass (if you click to enlarge, you can see more birds in the lower left corner.) Photo taken of the wharf area of Pensacola Bay, Florida, in August 2014. That's where I'll be for a long weekend, starting tomorrow. Two little boys (my great nephews) are having birthday parties - one on Saturday and one on Sunday. I'm so looking forward to being with my family.
- I'm sure my sister and I will go to
Joe Patti's World Famous Seafood Market on Monday, during our ramble. This is one of their fishing boats, docked next to the market - which is amazing. There seem to be endless cases of fresh seafood. I like this photo and made it extra large because it shows off that nice big boat and that beautiful blue sky.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, my friends.

Have an absolutely wonderful, fun, family, love and laughter filled weekend.
Sounds like a fun weekend, party party party. Send me some fresh salt air and the cries of seagulls, please. :)

Yes, the blueberries that are now on our selves come from up north--and are much more expensive! Enjoy the Gulf
Your fruits look tasty and I never thought of freezing blueberries but thanks for the tip on not washing them first. Oftentimes it's the strawberries that don't come around much...the good ones anyway.
Love your last pic! Wow! Have a great week!
Mmm, that looks like a sweet peach. I am wary about buying peaches in Toronto. The ones in the local supermarket are most often either hard as rocks, or mushy/mealy and home to fruit flies. However, every once in a while, when I find a good peach, it's the best thing ever.
I am mourning the end of summer berries also! It feels too soon!
When berries are cheap I freeze some so I can have them at a later date...added to juices etc. I don't buy the frozen berries because the majority of them are imported from China...and I have little faith in food products from China. I'd rather buy fruit that is grown here in our own country...or in countries whose farming practices I trust.
Pensacola is a great name,..I've always liked that name. It's funny how some names just "grab" you. I've always loved the name Nantucket, too, for some unknown reason - and Poughkeepskie is a name that's always intrigued me. There are many more... :)
