We planted a blueberry bush two season ago and have been eagerly waiting for the fruit to come in. Sadly, we didn't get any blueberries last summer or this summer, and we think it's because we might need a pair so that they can cross pollinate. You can imagine my surprise when I was washing dishes in the morning and noticed that we had a blueberry! Evie was so excited she rushed out in the cold to pluck it off the bush. This, here, ladies and gentlemen, is the finest blueberry in Washington! Evie can attest to it since she gobbled it up before we can split it for her sister to share.
We got back from Japan about a week ago and we're still talking about what a great trip it was! Japan has never been super high on my places to visit but for a lot of reasons (I've never been, it's clean, it's safe, it's different) we took the plunge and booked it as our summer vacation this year. It helped that our friends, the Wongs, went last year, raved about it and loved it so much they were going again and we were able to coordinate so that some of our trip overlapped with theirs. It helped even more that the yen is at a 10-year low (maybe all time low?) against the dollar, which, aside from airfare, made everything quite affordable. Look how low the yen is! We lucked out that it kept falling after we booked our tix in Dec. Since this was our first big overseas trip since COVID and with kids (or, lets face it, SINCE kids), I dove into prepping for our trip - including trying to keep up my Duolingo streak of learning Japanese for at least a few minutes everyd
