What a beautiful day on Whidbey. I went for a walk around town on the many trails and enjoyed picking wild blackberries along the way. Tomorrow, I’ll bring a tupperware. You can only hold so many in your hand without them spilling all over.
The kids enjoyed them when I picked them up from school, along with fresh blueberry muffins. Bonnie’s Blueberries, north of Oak Harbor near Dugualla Bay, has wonderful old bushes. Grab a bucket and it will be full in no time. We love to freeze her berries each year. Check the Saturday Farmer’s Market too. They were there last week, or you can find berries from Swansons in LaConner. I got a flat of late raspberries the other day that were out of this world. Made raspberry bars, yum!
Enjoyed the ice cream social Open House at Coupeville Elementary. Parents chatted and kids raced all over the playground. The classrooms looked great and both my kids were very proud during the tours they gave me.
I’ll try to get weekend stuff up soon. Don’t forget, you can check the Coupeville Examiner and the Whidbey News-Times online. Most of their papers are available in that format. I do know it’s Woolly Mammoth Day at the Island County Historical Museum in Coupeville. Every year my kids love this event, with crafts, stories, and more.
