July is national blueberry month and this past weekend was the
Barrie Hill Farms Blueberry Pancake Festival. If you follow my blog, you may remember that we visited the farm last month to celebrate the Strawberry Festival. On Saturday, we woke up early in the morning so we could be one of the first to enjoy the delicious blueberry pancakes! We arrived at about 9 am. The weather could not have been any more perfect - it was warm, the sky was blue, and the sun was shining!

| I asked the friendly gentlemen if I could snap a couple of photos. It was so nice talking with them! |
 |
| Our breakfast consisted of 3 pancakes, and 2 sausages! It was delicious! |
|
|
Now that our tummies were full, it was time to go blueberry picking! We headed out on the wagon ride that lead us into the blueberry fields...
 |
| We saw a large field of gorgeous gladiolus growing there too! |
 |
| I bought a few stems of gladiolus to take home and put in a vase! |
 |
| Blueberries for sale! |
We had a wonderful morning at Barrie Hill Farms. The pancakes were delicious, and we really enjoyed the blueberry picking. Hmmm...now what to do with all those berries? Why, a blueberry pie, of course!

It is really special when you add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The sweetness from the ice cream really complements the tartness of the blueberries! I do hope you enjoyed reading this post. It's another beautiful day here in my neighbourhood. I hope it's a nice day where you are too! Thanks for stopping by! XO
