Peaches and blueberries

We had an exciting and fruit-filled week. Two of my cousins came to watch Lucy for a few days while our babysitter was away. They slept over on Thursday night and joined us for the Peach Social at the local historical society where my grandmother volunteers. They serve desserts made with local peaches and the building is open for tours. This was Lucy's 3rd social, and she was quite excited about it. All day she told everyone we talked to about the peach social we were going to. An extra perk was the exhibit of dollhouses and miniatures.

Here's a video from the social- at the beginning Lucy is finishing up the extra verse of ring around a rosy that goes "the cows are in the meadow, eating buttercups. Thunder, lightening, they all jump up!




Lucy checking out the dollhouses. She chose this dress out of all of her sundresses. I tried guiding her to a less formal one, but she said, "no, this my best one!"

We finished off the week with a second blueberry picking trip with my grandmother and other cousins. It's the end of the season and these blueberries were smaller (about 1/3 the size of last time), but they were SO delicious (even I sampled a few). Lucy kept saying to me "These are so good!" as she ate berry after berry.
