Adventures in Blueberry Picking!

Ella and Delia have a few more days of school to go, but I am done and, after today's Memorial Day activities, it's beginning to feel a lot like SUMMER!

The girls were great helpers this year, sampling each variety before deeming it bucket-worthy.  They worked hard to help fill 4 big buckets.

 Of course, it is impossible to resist a little snack and rest in the shade of the blueberry bushes from time to time!

We mean business when we go to pick blueberries.  There are no other blueberries that compare in quality or price to the ones at our friends' farm, so we stock up.  Today we picked just over 25 pounds-- enough to fill 8 big bags for the freezer.  Hopefully we'll make it past just January with this year's supply!

Blueberry Buckle... muffins... pancakes... shortcake... ice cream topping, anyone? :)
