Here is a pie that I made today. Fresh organic blueberries hand picked today.
Blueberry Pie
Ingredients:
Any store bought pie crust should do fine. ( I did make my own though)
6 cups blueberries rinsed, smash about 25% to absorb the dry ingredients.
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup brown sugar, plus a little extra to sprinkle on top of pie
1/3 cup granulated sugar
( I used 15% less brown and granulated sugar and it was still sweet enough )
1/4 cup all purpose flower
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp butter
1 egg white
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425° F (219° C)Place bottom pie crust on greased 9 inch pie dish.
Mix pureed berries, brown sugar, regular sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt in large mixing bowl.
Pour filling onto the pie crust.
Break up little pieces of butter and place on top of filling.
Top with pie crust (some variation allowed for personal preference) if you do go with a solid top, make a few holes in it to let the steam out as it's baking.

Mix the egg white with a Tbsp of water and brush onto the top of the pie.
Sprinkle a little brown sugar over the pie and put it in the oven for 35 minutes.
Eat with vanilla ice cream if you would like to.

Good Pie Crust (unknown author)
Ingredients:
I had to double this recipe to do a top and bottom crust.
1 1/2 cup flour ( I added 1/4 cup baby oats )
1 1/2 tsp sugar ( I used raw sugar )
1 tsp salt ( I used sea salt )
1/2 cup oil ( I used coconut oil )
2 Tbsp milk ( I used goats milk )
Mix oil and milk, then add dry ingredients. Pat into 9" pie pan.
Bake crust at 425°F ( 219°C )for 8-12 minutes, before adding the filling. (I baked it for 10 minutes and it was perfect)

Was so bloated I ended up going on a 45 minute walk. Helped a lot, but definitely gonna distance myself from gluten for real this time. Kiki tried chasing a mouse, and failed terribly in the process. And of course she wouldn’t be Kiki without coming home in a mess. She’s sleeping in HER bed tonight

The kidding date for the two preggo does is slightly off. I’m predicting a late July due date for Hazel and an early-mid August due date for Cashew. Turns out the vet here works through a landline #, so I guess I’ll have to give her a call sometime this week.

I wish i had some idea when mine might kid! I had plans, but i think Mel bred them through the fence!

Well, i am working on a fairy house now. Having fun with it, but i should try to sleep. Good night everyone!

they are flowering pears.

Ooooooh. Yeah... removing the invasive stuff. Some states have even banned them, but they will make great firewood, as most fruit trees do. Not quite as good as oak, but it burns hot.
See if they'll cut it into lengths for you.

Lol. I only know cause I am in contact with the breeder I bought them from. She already has 6 kids on the ground and one more doe to kid. I haven’t gotten the chance to ask her why she breeds for summer kids. Seems counterintuitive.

Well newborn kids need to be kept warm. Much easier for them to survive in summer.
