End of Summer . . .


We've been trying to eat locally. I'm reading Barbara Kingsolver's _Animal, Vegetable, Miracle_, and I'm inspired. Of course, it's easy to be inspired as fresh, local produce is available at a farm 10 miles from our house--and that farm makes delicious pies and pastries, too! Riley and I have been picking our fruit almost weekly.

This was the end of the blueberry season. Riley is a very gentle, very precious blueberry picker. She didn't get any stains on her clothes at all.

(I have to share, though, that boiling hot water gets out blueberry stains. I learned this from an Encyclopedia Brown book when I was in third grade, and I've tested it out many times on my own clothes.)
