Don't forget to click on poster for an enlarged view.It can get pretty hot in Maine in the summer and the last few days were just that. Muggy, high 80's, no AC except a dip in the lake. Fortunately, a fast moving front blew through last evening and today was a bright shiny day, cool and breezy. Where to go, what to do? The suggestion of a hike had us packing the knapsack and off to Streaked Mountain near Paris. This peak isn't that high, but it pays off big time with great westerly views of the White Mountains after a short hike through the woods to granite outcrops. The problem today was that the magnificent view had to compete with a mountain covered with blueberries at every step. We were prepared and had our berry picking pails on neck strings. The heavy winter snows and a wet spring produced a bumper crop. Now our problem is should we make a pie, a cobbler, muffins, pancakes, a buckle or just keep eating them by the handful's? There's still plenty out there, so we'll just have to get more.
Then there is an exciting follow up activity; CEOFT - Checking each other for ticks.

From the looks of those blueberry filled buckets, you can do a pie and muffiens and still have some left for the waffles in the morning. If you still have some left, they would be great in a food fight!
