After dinner today I went outside with my kids to hang out and enjoy an awesome, warm summer evening. First we headed backyard to see how the wild blueberries are coming. You know, if by any chance we could get a super-healthy dessert! Here´s what we found:
 |
| Loads of ripe blueberries! Yay! |
 |
| The recipe: pick a handful and pour in to your mouth. Repeat for about twenty times. I like blueberries the most straight off the shrubs, with nothing added, eaten in the forest. They are true superfood. |
Then it was time to hit the kitchen garden. Another pleasant surprise was waiting for us:
 |
| Yum! The first strawberries have ripened too! I´m a lazy gardener, and have little interest in watering my plants. No surprise, not many things grow with never-seen-before success in my care. But strawberries are ones that do. And I love them! |
 |
| The recipe: Pick a deep red strawberry, lift it up in sunlight, and take a big bite. Can summer taste any better? |
With my stomach full of perfect summer bites, I found yet another feast. But this one was for my eyes only:
 |
| Goutweed blooms so prettily in our yard. My daughter likes to smell all flowers now, so she was the first one to stick her nose in it. Only a month ago I was still collecting the small and tender leaves of goutweed into my smoothies, and now it continues to please me. I´m glad we have these natural "flower benches" in our yard. No effort, only joy. |
 |
| So much beauty (and health) lies in weeds! |
