I missed last week's Fave Five because I was traveling. It's good to be back.1. The best part of traveling is coming home. -smile-
2. I have loved messing around with my new camera.
This was a fun shot~ the reflection says it all!
Oh, and this shot~ a fan turning on 'slow'.
3. I saw this quote decorating the door mantle of a former library in a midwest city.
4. I was reminded of the quote above when a student commented today upon learning that tomorrow's field trip was an all day affair: "We won't have to do any boring stuff!" First graders learn quickly these days...
5. I spent one afternoon this week with Blueberry Lady on the ranch, picking six quarts of fresh blueberries, chatting, picking, sampling, catching up. We were having so much fun we didn't realize we'd picked past the dinner hour until the cell phone's ring brought us back to real time. Oops!
To share in the fun, go to Susanne's blog.

What a wonderful week. My family owns a farm in upstate New York and they are berry farmers. There is nothing like fresh blueberries!
ReplyDeleteI love your photos! All of them.
ReplyDeleteThe quote is great.
Your photos of your road trip are good, too. Hubby and I took that same trip (almost) 2 years ago. The photos you took brought back memories for me!
You are having great fun with the new camera.
ReplyDeleteThat Grade One quote is priceless.
Blueberries? we don't get them until August. But we'll enjoy your California ones until then.
Happy weekend!
Thank you for welcoming me!! I am so proud of my daughter, Im so happy someone besides me understands the importance of kindergarden :)

The new camera is showing you some amazing things!! What will you do with all the blue berries? Besides eat them? :) Hmmm... blueberry yarn?
ReplyDeletePicking blue berries? We just have blooms...we're enjoying your new camera, too!
ReplyDeleteI love your photo's - they're great.
ReplyDeleteI love blueberries too but they are very expensive here.
Nive Fave Five!
WIllow: Did you have time to learn why the learning quote is on a "former" library. Hope its current use is seen by even more hungry souls. Happy gardening neighbor!
ReplyDeleteI'm a BIG fan of the fan shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the new camera?
This is a great fave five list!!! Enjoy those blueberries!!!!
ReplyDeletelovely, lovely pics! I love blueberries too!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Willow. What a great list. I love your pictures!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I remember strawberry picking/eating as a child. The smell of the fresh fruit still warm from the sun as we filled punnets some for jam making and some fresh for later with cream. Of course by then we were too full for more strawberries. What a lovely fav 5. I don't think you ever stop learning.
