Foggy Morning, originally uploaded by Dave Kekish.

Happy Fall everyone, fall officially hit this weekend here on the north coast. We had a good hard frost Saturday morning and today we went apple picking. Good times all around.

Ok, let me start with a disclosure, I adore blueberries and this is a post about them, if you don’t like blueberries, i really feel sorry for you.

Friday marked the first day blueberries were available at the local farm market and we went and got 4 quarts. Two quarts remain. One was devoured mostly by me, and the other went into blueberry buckle for this mornings breakfast.

The buckle is a recipe from Alton Brown (I love his stuff for the most part) and it was good. Next time I make it however I think I’ll cut back on the berries a bit. Not that it was bad or anything, just seemed like to many.

As for the rest of the berries, only time will tell. I’ll be getting more this week to go into the freezer (just put them on a sheet pan and freeze, then bag) so I can fulfill my craving for berries in the winter. Next weekend will probably be blueberry muffins, though this looks awfully good.

Anyway I’ll leave you with this parting photo now go get some berries.

PS, if yor adventurous, you can do what my buddy is doing. It looks interesting, I wonder if he’ll save any for me….

Wow, its been about a month since I last posted. Hmm, my fault. Just busy and when I get some time to myself, I tend to zone out. However that excuse will not work today. Today, 30+ photo’s were uploaded to flickr, 200+ processed in Lightroom and since your reading this, I wrote at least one blog post.

Here’s a few pictures

Some of the things that kept me busy of late you can see in the first 2 shots, the girls now have a full fledged swingset in the backyard. Its the Pathfinder model from Walmart. It was reasonable in price and just a bit complicated to put together. It should supposedly take 2 people who know what they are doing about 6 - 8 hours to complete it. Or as was in my case, myself and a friend one day and me alone for the next few. I’m a hack, I admit it.

Lets see, what else is going on. Warcraft has sucked away more time of course, my mage hit level 64 and I realized I’m getting a bit burned out. The game is much more fun when you have someone to grind away with, but doing a lot of solo stuff is a drag. My fall back is current Grand Theft Auto 4, a thoroughly violent game not fit for anyone considered a minor, but as an adult, its a great game.

Work is work, nuff said about it.
