The beginning goods of summer.
Truly, I cannot even get my head straight enough to write a post at this moment. It must have been all that warm sunshine. Forgive me, I can only bring my weekend to you in the form of a list. Although, one could make the argument that lists are far more productive anyway, as they cut straight to the point and avoid the inevitable wordy explanations – which I am guilty of at this very moment. Shall we move on? . Blueberries. Sweet blueberries. While shopping at a local food market, I found these berries that were grown nearby. They were all picked and beautiful and…well…I collapsed under the pressure and purchased them. I don't regret it either. In fact, I may just go back and purchase some more. After eating some of them fresh, I decided to freeze the rest. That way, in the frigid cold of the winter, we can enjoy a little taste of summer – tangy morsels from heaven.
2. Steak. We packed some top sirloins, a baked sweet potato, fresh watermelon, and freshly picked cherries. Then, we went to a local brewery and enjoyed some local beer while we grilled them outside and listened to a fiddle player. A local brewery with a bring your own steak policy? Yes, please!

I never get the raspberries into a bowl, but I sure do love picking them and eating them. : )

Enjoyed reading about your summer pleasures.
Last year I made currant cordial from red currants and vodka–it is a dessert treat.
This year my lavender is doing exceptionally well; I would enjoy giving you a bunch. I am drying it also.

Oh I’ve been wanting to do this! We were looking into buying meat this way. We love red meat and we try to only eat grass fed but it gets SO DANG expensive! I love the idea of buying this way and then knowing where the meat comes from and that I’m supporting a local farmer!
Unfortunately we’ll be moving soon so we can’t right now. I’ll have to find a good place to do this where we go!
