I wasn't sure I'd even get blueberries this year, as it was a dry spring. Strawberry season was short too.
However, I was on top of it, and brought home 10# of blueberries. We cannot grow them here, so I'm tickled pink we can re-stock them.
I made this the other day. It's a side dish, but I made it a "main" dish for a hot day. It has black beans in it, so that counts as a protein. So good too. It's Tex Mex Pasta and the recipe is online at Spruce Eats. You can utilize your garden goodies for this recipe. Oh, I forgot to add the fresh cilantro from the herb garden. Will add that today too.
Do you know what these are? Hard to see in the bag, but Hubby surprised me. French waffles. A country nearby town had a food truck. Woohoo! We helped someone out financially, and filled my tummy with some yummy fair food (I know it's not healthy, but it's once a year ha ha!).
Got up early (again) and watched the sunrise. We have some patchy fog here and the heat returns today. We didn't get that much rain yesterday. As my Mom said, "we got spit on" basically.
I have much to do today. First water, then weed, and a lot of other stuff today. Have a great weekend!

Another new crochet project
I love my Mom. She gave me another project to do. I won't be crocheting masks, but she asked me to make a mask extender. The only problem is, that the pattern is too small. I'm re-doing this today and making it larger and having my daughter who works try it out at her work. My buttons have been shipped, so that will happen when they arrive.
It's not the new project that I was talking about though. That is yet to start, but will share when I have it made.
Once I have the size figured out on this project, I'll most likely be selling some. I know many people have to wear a mask the entire day, and it's uncomfortable. One person who has one already told me hers measures 6 1/2 inches. I think that would be too large, but we'll see.
Rain is due here today, but we've only had a sprinkle. I sure hope we get more today. We badly need it. I spent the morning tying up my 100 some tomato plants. They are looking great and tomatoes are on. Bring on the rain!
