Morning success!
• Errand run in Baby Blue (top down, of course!)
• Yard work complete
• Iced my injured right shoulder directly after (I'm right-handed)After cooling off inside, treated myself to one finger of Laphroiag Scotch (I'm retired, and now do exactly as I please 🥃).
Happy our Blueberry Festival is enjoying nice weather: none of the predicted rain yet on their first day! 🫐 🌞 🙂

I think we may have eaten most of the ripe blueberries on this bush out of hand. But there are more to come! Yay blueberries. And we have a neighborhood gathering tonight, so little kids will be stripping the front yard bushes clean.

Vulnerable workers bearing the cost of providing Australia with cheap food
"Across Australia's fruit and vegetable industry, Fair Work Ombudsman investigations have repeatedly uncovered widespread non-compliance...: systemic worker exploitation, forced labour, debt bondage and, in some cases, human trafficking and servitude."
"In Coffs Harbour, 61 per cent of growers and labour hire companies inspected were found to be breaching workplace laws, including underpaying workers. The figure rose to 72 per cent in the Riverina and 83 per cent in Victoria's Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley....Oz Group, a co-operative representing more than 140 berry growers across NSW's Mid North Coast, said in its 2020 statement it "does not accept any form of slavery-like practices within the co-operative or throughout its supply chain".However, in its 2025 statement, the co-operative said, "addressing modern slavery requires ongoing effort and collaboration" and it remained "committed to continuous improvement"." >>

Blueberry syrup from fresh berries was super easy. Don’t know why it never occurred to me I could make it. I have been looking for it at grocery stores for maybe 8 years now and never found it. #Cooking #Blueberries #Syrup #Fruit #Syrup
Looked at various recipes and settled on this for 3 cups. Thickens more in the fridge but also freezing small portions. Important tip at end of recipe (which I put in first comment)
2 cups washed blueberries
13/4 cups water
2 cups sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
2 tbsp lemon juice
For thicker syrup, mix 2 tbsp cornstarch with about 1/4 of the water and mix in saucepan, add rest of the waterHeat over low heat to almost simmering, then raise heat to almost boiling, covered. A potato masher get more blueberry juice out of mix.
About 15 minutes total cook time. Add cinnamon and lemon juice after it's done cooking. Hand immersion blender after cooking makes it smoother. -

I’m planning my posts while picking #raspberries or #blueberries. #Lingonberries will be ripe soon, and that makes me #happy, I’m so #rich. Even though the mosquitoes are biting my skin until it looks terrible, and feels even more so!
