After several days of cool weather and rain (Sunday we fired up our wood stove it was so cold), we finally had a beautiful day to enjoy the outdoors. We filled it up with a morning outing to a nearby beach then more time outdoors at home, whereas this mama tended to the garden and bees then hiked up our back ridge with the kids in search of ripe berries. I usually find a few blues before the 4th of July, last year at this time we found a few more than we did today, but we did find some! It has been a great day to experience the sunshine.
