Perspective & Blueberry Pie

I'm trying not to think about the 70+ inches of snow we've had this winter, so for those of you who are wondering what 70+ inches of snow looks like, here are a few pictures!   Have a wonderful day!

 Notice the gray post on the left as you look down the walkway, my cute little winter arrangement is buried under all that snow!

For all you snow weary people out there - THINK SPRING!  Have a wonderful day!  And help yourself to Brownie's blueberry pie!  It's delicious and her recipe is below!


Brownie Schrumpf was a Maine instutution. She was born Mildred Greeley Brown in Readfield Depot, Maine, attended the University of Maine, served as a home economist and 4-H officer, wrote a column for the Bangor Daily News, and actively promoted Maine procucts at the "Big E" (Eastern States Exposition) every year for the Maine Department of Agriculture. Her friends included political leaders at the State and national level, clergymen, academics, her fellow home economists, neighbors, children, academics, and her readers, who felt as if they knew Brownie like a friend from reading her columns. Her life values remained those she learned on the farm: she was loyal, interested, and always willing to help. When she left the farm to live in the University town of Orono for the rest of her life, the farm went with her and she remained true to the values she learned there.

Blueberry Pie
4 or 5 cups of Wild Maine Blueberries (fresh or frozen-I use 5 cups)
¾ cup of sugar
2 tablespoons of flour
1 teaspoon butter (broken up and spread around the pie)
Cover with pie top.

In a prepared pie shell add the uncooked blueberries, sugar, flour and butter pieces.  Cover the top of the pie with a pie crust.  Make slits in the top of the pie to vent.

Bake at 400 for 1 hour.

Blueberry pie puts everything in perspective!  LOL!!  Enjoy!

    Oh! I feel like I have to go to my jpg files of the summer gardens just for a bit of color! Snow, snow go away! At least the sun is getting stronger and the light is staying with us later in the day! We're spinning our way through space toward Springtime!

    For a minute, I thought you'd photographed my house!! However, the blueberry pie would not have been waiting inside!! You are the snow winner! We had about 29 inches in the Chicago blizzard of last week but our total is not near yours. I hope I don't eat those words later!

    Best,
    Bonnie

    I'll have a slice of that pie, thanks :-) But none of that snow :-P (we've had our fair share around Christmas and I hope it won't be back until next Christmas).

    Hey! That looks like my yard! And about everyone else's around here! LOL! I'm telling you it will be a long time before spring makes an appearance. Hopefully it won't rain in the mean time. That would be horrible!

    I say we all could use a little BB pie with a cup of coffee or tea : ) . . . and a vacation.

    Seventy inches is a lot of snow. A good pie such as yours can bring comfort and I'll be praying for spring with you. Mother Nature has had a warped sense of humor this year.
