Today I am going to share my favorite blue lady…. the Statue of Liberty!

Located on a 12 acre island, the Statue of Liberty was a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States and is a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886, designated as a National Monument in 1924 and restored for her centennial on July 4, 1986.

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (on May 25 in 2009). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the civil war), it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action.

Yesterday my husband mentioned he saw quite a few bags of blueberries in his parent’s freezer…. not the store bought kind… but the picked fresh and frozen…… and I haven’t been able to get them out of my mind! I asked him to grab me a bag (or two) when he goes back to take them their groceries (we have been shopping for them the last few months).

I love blueberries…. fresh….

in pancakes…..

in muffins…..

on top of cheesecake……

or in a cobbler…….

or mixed fresh with other fruit…..

What is your favorite way to eat blueberries? Do you have a favorite recipe?

Today I am going to share……. blue kites!

 

Let’s go fly a kite Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height
Let's go fly a kite
And send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!
