Yum-Yum Time!!


Today I went blueberry picking with a sweet family from our church. I am kicking myself that I did not bring the camera with me because it was so beautiful. I wish I could show you, but this description and your imagination will have to do.... The blueberry patch was on the side of a steep hill that over looked a deep valley and several mountains in the Catskills. If that doesn't sound ideal enough, the two or three acres of blueberry bushes were so full that the hill side actually looked purple! (kick, kick!!) I'll try to go back and get some lovely pics (as well as more blueberries!) There were six of us that went today and we managed to pick 53 pounds of blueberries!!! (and yes there were plenty more left on the bushes!) Needless to say the family I went with has a chest freezer and loves blueberries. The place we went was a "u-pick" that hardly had any signage, but gosh it sure was a great find. To pay for the blueberries we had to go to the family's house and they had a scale and a plastic jar on their back porch that you weighed what you picked and paid on the honor system. I love the country!
