I’ve got no complaints

This summer has been so good to me. I really have no complaints. I’ve been to the lake a couple of times. I went kayaking for the first time ever. I’ve been to the ocean at least once. I’ve been able to spend a weekend or two with my busy husband and with friends. And we still have a camping trip planned this summer. And above all else we’ve had some exceptional weather. So on the hottest Saturday morning of this summer I decided to go berry picking. I never said I was brilliant and this choice supports my lack there of. And let’s just say that no one was stupid enough to go with me.

But I must say it was kind of awesome out in the field picking berries by myself. I was there relatively early so there weren’t many other ‘pickers’ either. It was nice and quiet. I just sat in the shade beneath a big blueberry bush and picked berries for a couple of hours. I ate quite a few berries too. I didn’t realize how much work it actually was. I had sweat droplets running down my face. But even though I was alone, and it was hotter than h-e-double hockey sticks outside I had a great time. Now I just have to figure out what to bake with my berries. Got any good blueberry pie recipes?

Also, more big news this summer, I am now a blogger for Conceive. If you remember a few weeks back I needed your help with naming a new blog. Well the new blog is titled “It Takes a Village“, and it’s where I chronicle our journey with infertility. Thanks for your help with naming the blog and I hope you follow.

    I forwarded your new blog to a high school acquaintance who is also struggling with starting a family. I hope you don’t mind.

  3. I love berry picking and I never know what to do with everything I pick. If all else fails go buy a tub of cool whip and dab it on a bowl full of berries. That always works :)

    And I am definitely going to follow your new blog too :) Can’t wait :)
