As soon as the babies were ready to leave the nest, Mama Squirrel took them to the bird feeders.

Thankful Thursday and Little Things Thursday

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, June 30, 2020

I am thankful for fresh blueberries! We went to my husband's cousin's house Saturday to help her pick her blueberries. They are delicious on cereal, and...

... I made a blueberry tart. One pie crust, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, dash of nutmeg, 3 cups of blueberries. Mix dry ingredients together, stir in blueberries. Pour into pie crust, fold edges up around fruit mixture. Sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar on crust (optional). Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes. Enjoy!

I packed the rest of the blueberries in my freezer, three cups to a bag, for future blueberry tarts!

Have a blessed day!

I am thankful for home-grown cucumbers!
I picked the first cucumber of the season on Monday: eight ounces of crispy crunch for our salads!

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA June 25, 2020

And this morning's cucumber weighted slightly more: nine ounces. Later in the Summer, the vines should be producing faster, and I will have enough to make pickles.

Have a blessed day!
