The fun continued after visiting our son and DIL we went on to a lake to have fun with our daughter and family. Some relaxing, some boating, some fishing, some just hanging out. This was the view from their cabin, we were in our camper in a not so inviting spot so we hung out at their area(while they were there) more.

Look at all the pelicans hanging out on this point.
After they all had to return home to go back to work hubby and I spent time in our ATV on the trails.
Aren't these trees cool!
The main reason we went on these trails was to look for Juneberries as we had seen them last year. And indeed we found them and they were all over the place!!! They are so yummy. We ate a bunch and then got serious picking so we could bring home and make jam at a later date, we froze them for now. As we were picking them we looked down and wow, there were wild blueberries too!! Yep some of them came home with us too, I will make muffins with those.
And we went back another day and picked more!
And we had time to pick some wild raspberries too, once again everywhere you looked there were bunches of them. And even more Juneberries made it into our bucket:) I think we have a gallon and a half.
Since this is a quilting blog here is one of the panels I bought this past week. Isn't that a cute haunted house? I think it will be fun to customize it into a sweet wall hanging. But I think I will work on the other one first since it is several smaller haunted houses. So stay tuned, it might be a couple weeks;)
Have a fabulous weekend!

Oh that sounds like my kind of getaway and camping! Those berries are amazing. You are going to have some wonderful jams to enjoy over the winter.
ReplyDeletethat is so neat to find all the berries to pick. What are Juneberries? I have never heard of them - to even find with the wild raspberries - wow what a find. Sounds like you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteI have never tasted Juneberries, but they look juicy and sweet. What a serene looking location for some R&R. Adorable panel to play with when you get home.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a pretty spot - all that green! And fresh wild berries, too - yum! Cute panel - I like the white geometric trees!
ReplyDeleteWe were just on Pelican Lake near Pequot Lakes! I picked berries there too. Looks like you had a great time, as did we. Love the Halloween panel and look forward to seeing it all done up in one of your great quilts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of yummy berries! I remember picking them in a favorite state forest when my DH and I were much younger - so much fun picking and then making jams and syrup and delicious things to share with my in-laws. The Halloween panel will make a wonderful quilt when you finish thinking about it. =)
