Blueberry Season!

This afternoon, in nearly 100* heat, Little Guy & I went blueberry picking.  We went this afternoon for two reasons... I obligated myself to bring some to the Ladies Luncheon at our church tomorrow AND we'd been talking about for over a week.  We've had swim lessons this week, so no morning pickin' was possible.  :)  {More on those swim lessons later.}

We've been going to this particular blueberry farm for over 5 years off & on.  The last three summers we have taken Little Guy.  I'm sure the progression of pictures would be cute to see together!  The owners are wonderful & the blueberries are organically raised, priced cheap, & super yummy.

"Momma!"
Can you consider this an action shot?  :)



We had a somewhat traumatic experience during this visit.  Well, traumatic for Momma... Not so much for Little Guy.  I may write about it later & just wait to publish... One of those experiences that you think you may laugh about in the future, vow to embarrass your child later for it, & cry for a while about, too!

We ended up picking 4 pounds of blueberries that will be eaten at the Ladies Luncheon, given to my parents, & baked into some sweet treats.  I'm hoping we can knock out one or two recipes with our first "harvest" of blueberries.  Little Guy LOVES to help in the kitchen, so I'm sure I'll have some photos to share of our prep & product.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  We have a few events at church, but plan to head to the beach on Sunday to relax & celebrate Father's Day.  Very excited about that!
