Summer, here in Ontario, has left the room.
Thank goodness she left her bounty behind.
Ontario peaches and wild blueberries together are reason enough to celebrate August, ridiculous chilly weather aside.
On their own, they are sweet glory.
Or, throw them in a teensy cup, sprinkle some crumble, and bake up a simple treat for the gods.

The peach and blueberry crumble recipe is a favourite with my family and it’s the perfect month to make it. A scoop of vanilla Haagen Dazs on top isn’t too terrible either. Delicious!😋
