I'm casting a feeble little "hi, i'm here" wave from behind the remaining boxes awaiting to be unpacked. I'm almost there, and can see the glimmer of craft-time hope in my newly adorned and adored craft room at the end of the tunnel. Must. Push. On....
But I decided to take a "break" today for some blueberry picking, sans kiddos. A friend and I headed south-ish to a little farm tucked into the corner of Hubbard, OR, a true treasure trove of perfectly sun-kissed blue beauties waiting to be picked.
And picked we did, 3 1/2 hours worth ending up with 26 pounds each! Aside from my friend getting stung in the face by a yellow jacket(!), we had a truly lovely time amongst the berries.
So now, I shall add to my not-so-short to-do list the task of putting these little blue beauties by. A task I'm all too happy to undertake. And then, back to the boxes!

nice to have you back.
Glad to have you back, I missed you. I'm sorry to hear about your friends, but happy you got such a good bounty.
hey, i still had boxes to unpack four years after we moved, so at least you’ll be waaaaay ahead of me! ;^)

I took a 'break' yesterday for some raspberry picking..it was exactly what I needed. I especially think berry picking is in order when the other option is unpacking!
It's good to see you are able to blog again! I've missed reading your posts!
I wondered where you were. Im glad you are doing a little something fun along with the moving and unpacking. :0)
Hi Melissa. Good luck with the rest of the unpacking. Lovely photo of the blueberries. Can't wait to see your new studio (if you share . . .)
hi! you've been on my mind - glad you are getting settled and I hope you don't feel pressure to be here :) Hugs and happy unpacking!
wow. 26 pounds?? that's no small amount of berry picking [ouch on the yellow jacket incident]
And what does one do with 26 pounds of blueberries? Looking forward to a post on that!
May the glimmer of craft-time hope keep you going!
I did not realize how stressful moving was. Looks really stupid when I type it but it's true.
Looking forward to seeing the craft room.
Hope things are going relatively smoothly and your sanity is intact!
