Soon to be Lonely Harvest 2

We have some new specimens that we'll be able to harvest in a few weeks:


Blueberries! I didn't even know they were something you could grow on a balcony. We saw a sale on plants and decided to run out and pick some up. Theses berries weren't on it when we picked them out, and it's cool to see it filling out.

There were flowers, though, on the two plants we got. The berries above are on an early season harvest, while the second plant, seen in the back below, is a late season harvest, and it has many more flowers.


They're done when the blueberries are blue and sagging the branches, implying they're heavy with sugar.

Drive Introduction

This is going o be the site where I describe the drive and visit to Texas; seeing Austin again for the first time since we left; visiting Odessa, Corrie's birth-town; but I've been sidetracked.

Not that anyone is too worried, but I'll be back soon...
