In the blueberry patch (with bonus recipe!)

Dorian: I found a really big one!

Sebastian: Is it as big as your head?

D: No. It's as big as Dustin's head.

D: Here's some more, Mama.

Me: Thanks.

D: It's for the pie. Can we make a pumpkin pie?

M: Not with blueberries. You make blueberry pie with blueberries.

D: Oh. I want a pumpkin pie.

Blueberry salad

1 large or 2 small heads lettuce
1 cup fresh blueberries
4 oz crumbled bleu cheese

dressing:
juice of 1 medium lemon
1T olive oil
1.5t water
8-10 mint leaves, finely minced
salt and pepper to taste

You're smart. You know how to put this together. It was enough for 6 side portions at dinner last night. Toasted walnuts or almonds would be good on this if you have some.

I don't blame him. You do make a great pumpkin pie. Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits, though.
