…peaks in July! And they are native only to North America.
July is “National Blueberry Month” in the United States and Canada.
Blueberries, prove that good things can come in small packages.
They are one of the richest sources of antioxidants,
full of anthocyanins
— the compounds responsible for their blue hue —
known to reduce heart disease and cancer in humans.

Your mother may have told you carrots would keep your eyes bright as a child, but as an adult, it looks like fruit is even more important for keeping your sight. Eating 3 or more servings of fruit per day may lower your risk of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), the primary cause of vision loss in older adults.
Two of my favorites.. Pearls combined with diamonds.. What a beautiful watercolor!
this has to be one of my favorite designs…the colors really pop and it is an exquisite piece. And as always, thanks for the valuable information and wonderful quotes that you share 🙂
I didn’t know that blueberries only grew in North America! Poor Europeans, they don’t get to enjoy them!
this is so beautiful and delicate – and somehow so full of a feeling of hope. I love it!
