We normally eat hem fresh. No apricots but they do have Nectarines. We bought both Yellow and white peaches this trip. This morning i picked 5 pounds of Blueberries, it may be my last blueberry picking this year. this is a photo of one of their fields where they grow peaches. They grow them on the mountain ridges to avoid spring frost that you get in the lower elevations:

Love Me Tender - Elvis Presley

Lonesome Road - Frank Sinatra

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Hank Williams

Cry - Johnny Ray

Coming In on a Wing and a Prayer - Ann Shelton

My Prayer - The Platters

The containers hold a gallon, a little more if you "heap" them. If the picking is good it normally takes me approx, 1 hour to fill them, plus or minus. I used to freeze them but stopped as I found that I don't like berries that have been frozen. Now I eat them fresh except for the pies. I think I have picked about 8 gallons of berries (blackberries and blueberries) so far this summer and anticipate one more "picking" before I call it quits for berries this year. In the Spring I also purchased from a strawberry farm about 3 gallon of strawberries. We are now heading into peach season. So far I have bought 1 peck of early peaches from the orchard and this week will buy an additional 1 peck. I may post a photo of the "market" at the orchard where I buy the peaches in Virginia.

I believe that her life would have personally been happier. Professionally she probably would have had an even bigger repertoire of hit songs, Darin was a good song writer.

Connie Francis - May she R.I.P. In the 50's and 60's she was a huge success with songs like Who's Sorry Now and Everybody's Somebody's Fool. Francis retired in 2018, and lived in Florida the remainder of her life.[54] In May 2025, her 1962 song "Pretty Little Baby" went viral on TikTok, becoming a sleeper hit; when reached for comment, Francis said she had forgotten about the song but was pleased that her music—and the innocence it sought to represent—was being embraced by a younger audience.[55]

What! You don't like Blackberries, everyone likes Blackberries. 😇

I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire - The Ink Spots

Definition of Entropion from the Mayo Clinic: Entropion (en-TROH-pee-on) is a condition in which your eyelid turns inward so that your eyelashes and skin rub against the eye surface. This causes irritation and discomfort. When you have entropion, your eyelid may be turned in all the time or only when you blink hard or squeeze your eyelids shut. Entropion is more common in older adults, and it generally affects only the lower eyelid. Artificial tears and lubricating ointments can help relieve symptoms of entropion. But usually surgery is needed to fully correct the condition. Left untreated, entropion can cause damage to the transparent covering in the front part of your eye (cornea), eye infections and vision loss.

I have a Doctor's appt. on July 31 for him to evaluate what needs done and to then schedule the surgery. I will need it done for both eyes. My lower eyelids are turning under and scratching my eyes. My Ophthalmologist has been after me for quite some time to get it done.

That is not a good place for it. looks like you are in a predicament. Either keep it the way it is or cut out the blackberry bush. I don't envy you.

Blackberry Ice Cream sounds wonderful.

Picked some blueberries and blackberries today. This will be the last of the blackberry picking as the season is about over for them. Think I will make another blackberry pie. The blueberry bushes were "loaded".
