4th of July

Hope you all had a great 4th of July! Mine was really laid back and relaxing. I tended to my brussel sprouts, put a few coats of paint on my clothing rack (almost done!), made blueberry pie, and ate hamburgers with Tommy.

This blueberry pie was one of the best I have ever had. I used this recipe, and only tweaked it slightly. I used a bit more flour, a splash of vanilla and let the pie sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes prior to baking. Why don't I make more pies?


Later we decided to watch fireworks from our back yard and play with sparklers. I had never played with long exposure before, so I grabbed my camera and gave it a go!
