After the parade on the Fourth of July our family packed up for a picnic, where we feasted on the lobster rolls and blueberry pie we had prepared the night before. The kids rowed around in a dinghy while the grownups lolled around talking and digesting – a peaceful interlude between the frenzy of the parade and the spectacle of the fireworks.
It was a really good week for striped stones!
And I’ll leave you with a photo of one my husband’s famous blueberry pies – they’re delicious and cheerful!
