Blueberry Picking

We went with some friends to pick blueberries at a local blueberry farm. I'd never seen a blueberry bush before, and I absolutely LOVE blueberries, so I was very excited to be a blueberry picker.

At the farm on the top of a little hill were rows of twiggy blueberry bushes. We all got little white buckets and were directed to a row where we could pick off as many as we wanted--and eat as many as we wanted, too. I felt like the little girl named Sal from the book Blueberries for Sal as the berries went kerplunk! in my little pail.

By the time we were done, Brett and I had collected about five pounds of blueberries. We froze all of them and have really enjoyed having blueberry pie and blueberries in our breakfast cereal every day.
