Oregon is a fruity place!

Every week we buy fresh fruit at the Astoria Sunday Market but our own yard has plenty to offer too! Last night I brought in rosemary, chives and elephant garlic for cooking dinner, and I picked some blueberries for dessert.
The garlic flowers are other-worldly! They're shedding their little clown caps and displaying their pretty little purple flowers.
We'll soon be picking some nice crispy apples.
We've had to share our bounty with birds and some four-legged visitors.
I think the birds ate more of the cherries than we did, and the raccoons certainly made short work of the strawberries!
