Blueberry time

[primsong]

Went out and picked 2 gallons of blueberries this morning, now they're freezing on trays so I can bag them up without them all sticking together into a lump later on.

While picking a young family went by me with two little kids "helping" pick (Look what I got! Look! Look what I got! Look! I got some! Look! I can pick A LOT!) and the parents going along in good humor (Yes, I see. Yes. That's a lot all right. Berries! Yes. Pick the blue ones. You have berries. I see. You picked them! Good job. Now let's pick some more. The blue ones.)

As they were paying for their berries I could hear him (he was too short to see over the bushes): "I ate a...a...GALLON of blueberries! Weigh me!" - then he climbed into their car jauntily calling out "Have a BERRY NICE DAY!" while laughing at his own joke. X-D

Happy summer fruit time everyone!

How wonderful! Blueberries are my very very favoritest fruit. They're sadly quite expensive where I currently live.

I'm grateful they grow around here - 2 gallons cost me $10, which I thought was pretty reasonable but it's definitely more than they used to be. If you were closer, I would lob some your way!

That is a lot of blueberries, but a most delicious result for your labors in the berry patch. Yum :))
