Sounds so good to me - and fits perfect with my latest post that reveals my appetite for purple and violet things. Blueberries - yes :)
The second picture is just perfect! All the colors match gorgeously. Happy happy Friday, the last day of the first week back to school. Enjoy, sweet friend xxxx
I love blueberries in any dish! I have a funny story...my sons picked blueberries for a charity, a LONG day of picking in the Texas heat and came home without any for us! lol I had the little pamphlet of recipes that the charitable organization had given out and was all ready. But 4 hot, worn out...hungry sons came home that day with not one blueberry! We still laugh about it! lol
Yum...I love blueberries. I get so excited when they are in season and so yummy!
Sounds delicious. I made smoothies last night...strawberry banana...yum. Best wishes for a wonderful weekend ♥
That sounds so good. I love the last photo!!
What a hard worker, 4 weeks of that is a long time!!
Happy Friday,
Ashlyn
Mmmm, blueberries are delicious! I often make Blueberry pie and it´s just yummy... :-)
Sweet blueberries! Love them and they are so good for you too!
Sounds like a good way to sweeten a gray day in Vancouver. I love her nail polish colour - very chic!

Oh, my goodness, fantastic picture! Nails, shirt, smoothie . . . sweet!! We love blueberry smoothies here too. Yummm! Think I'm off to whip one up!
Love that 2nd shot, nails are perfect. We drink smoothies for breakfast all summer but lean towards oatmeal in the winter and now I don't know why. I've had breakfast but think I might whip me up a smoothie for lunch today!
I love blueberries...and what a bonus that they are so good for you! I have gone to a 'pick your own' orchard and you are correct...it is not an easy job. They seem to be ripe for picking during the hottest part of Summer. But soooooo worth it.

Please take a moment and come enter my Giveaway...I knitted dozens of wonderful 'Circle of Love' scarves while keeping vigil over a dear friend who recently lost her battle with cancer. Giving some away in her honor!

Four weeks 8 ours a day oh my goodness that must have been o lot of blueberries.
Good for her to be so persistent .
My daughter Elisabeth surprised me last night bringing a movie ,LETTERS TO JULIET and also
Ben and jerry's chocolate icecream .
I'm doing very well ......
Wish you some quality time with your girls too.
I love bluberries too - and they're so good for you! Great pic!
Your blog is just the cutes. Love the colors. Love blueberries as well.
So pretty colors, dear Koralee!! I love this palete!
I wish YOU all a pefect sunny weekend!! Love! Bela
I love blueberries but it is hard work picking them and up here our wild blueberries are sweet but half the size of normal ones...
good for her and sweet pictures!
My family all LOVES blueberries! I can't imagine having to pick them though :) Makes me feel better about the 4 bucks I just paid at the store for such a tiny box :) Well worth the 4 bucks to have them picked & ready to go! Happy Smoothies!!!
I love blueberries, and they are so good for you. xxx susan
mmmmmm...YUMMMMMMM!!!
My first job ever was picking peas...We were paid by the bushel, which were about the size of a dump truck bed (or at least it felt like it!!) and I lasted only two and a half days. Granted, halfway through that third day I bent to resume picking and split my shorts right down the middle. HaHa I called my dad to come and get me and never went back!!!
Mmmmmm...Yum! I love blueberries! Good for her, that is not an easy job!
We have a local grocery store that sells all kinds of Michigan Blueberry products from local farmers. I love to go there in the winter and buy those little bit of Blue Summer!
It's Lovely As Always!!!

My youngest, Delilah, loves blueberries....I mean she LOVES THEM! She eats them constantly....and a smoothie does sound good, I can pair it with my chocolate chip cookies I'm eating and maybe wont feel so bad hahaha Xoxoxo
I think I'll just have to pick up a few blueberries on my way home today. They look SO GOOD! And, they're perfect for this happy new year dieter!
I hope your sweet girl made LOTS of money! Berry picking is not an easy job! But the benefits are FAB! :)
Blessings!
These pics are so pretty!
Oh fresh fruit season, you feel so very, very far away... sniff!
My goodness, I
do so enjoy your
photos! I picked
strawberries as a
kid in Oregon, but
never blueberries.
It was always great
to earn money that
way. Enjoy those
antioxidants : )!
Happy Friday,
xx Suzanne
Hello Koralee I love your colorful post again,I hope you have a lovely weekend my friend...x
Oh, yum! How refreshing at this time of year when we need a change of sorts. I used to pick corn as a young girl in the summer. Very hot and lots of spiders!
XO,
Jane

Bravo for the girl!!! She sure deserved a cool blueberry smoothie!!!
Yum I could go for a smoothie today!! Have a great weekend.
Hi Koralee!
Oh I can eat frozen blueberries like candy from a bag! So delicious! Smoothies are the best. Jason practically lives on them ... Thank God he's learned to cook a few good meals too!
I also just loved your last post. Learning new things keeps our minds young :D
Hmmmm this year... my family is trying to get me on cross-country skiis ~ they just might win!
Rachael and Juan recently received a pair from friends...so the pressures on!

How wonderful to so literally enjoy the fruits of your labors! We enjoy that here, too...good family friends own a farm nearby, and give us flatfulls of the most amazing strawberries you'll ever see each and every year!
We look forward to making jam & freezing bags of the big, red, fresh berries...so wonderful to pull out a bag in the middle of winter!
Thanks for all you share, my friend!

Blueberry smoothies sound yummmy! Yes, kudos to her for sticking with it and reaping the rewards. Love blueberries in the northwest.
Lucky I read this after breakfast or I would have had to go shopping! ~Deb~
Oh I forgot to write that Sydney deserves a lot of credit for sticking to her outdoor job summer job. There's a wonderful personal satisfaction for work well done and much appreciated~
I'll never forget my first days of work. My gratitude for my parents' workday went way up after that!
Kudos to Sydney!
Lovely images - those blueberries sure look tasty :)
Hello Sweet Koralee,
I admire your daughter for her work ethic...that is very hard work! Your photos are spectacular, brought a big smile to my face. Happy Weekend!!
xoxo
Karyn
I love any kind of berries, and a blueberry smoothie sounds wonderful. I bet your daughter loves enjoying the fruits of her labor now!
Take care, darling.
I love those blueberry fingernails, Koralee! They make me smile :-) . Actually, it is a very beautiful picture with all the coordinating colors!
You are my daily dose of joy!
Hugs,
Suz
I eat blueberries every day.. love them and the story behind this photo .. good for your daughter, they taste better when you pick them yourself
What a cute picture. And I agree, it is so nice to be able to enjoy your hard work from the summer all winter long. Enjoy your weekend too :)
hey there cutie...I love the picture. Did you know I have a blueberrie smoothie every single morning for my breakfast? I never tire of it. Now I just wish that blueberries grew in my climate.
sending big hugs
We are having them printed through Blurbs...and I really want a smoothie now! ;D
blueberry smoothies are a favorite here and blueberry pie, blueberry french toast, blueberry pancakes.....so delicious and good for you!
have a beautiful weekend dear koralee :-)
hhmmm that looks delicious!
yummy yummy...
Ohhhhh dear! This is what happens when I miss an evening session of blogging! Oh Koralee, BLUEBERRIES are my favorite berry.....and the shirt matches so well! Hmmm....Martina's FANTASTIC post in purple now has this wonderful color as well. Oh dearest, you were the 140th comment! YIKES! I must send you another thingy just for being my BIGGEST NUMBER! I will send you something....I know exactly what!
HOUSE HUNTING? YIPEEE!!!! Oh dear, our project is really, really coming along more beautiful than we even thought. What a difference these two rooms make, especially since the main room now has been opened with an eight foot arched entrance from our dining room! Certainly the prettiest house I have ever lived in!
BLESSINGS TO YOU DEAREST ONE and something sweet and blue will be coming to you!!!! It will probably take a while since the mail is the way it is!!!
BISES, Anita
Hi Koralee,
Love the sweet photos you have shown today.
Such a beautiful photo of your daughter in the colour coordinated outfit.

Happy weekend, dear friend
