Blueberry picking!

We were excited to go blueberry picking for the first time ever.  SM has a friend that owns a blueberry farm and this year the berries were slow to produce because of all the rain we've had.  And then when they did ripen, the rains caused a lot of the berries to split.  But that meant that we picked five quart bags of blueberries for free.  It was wonderful! (We laid all the berries out on towels to dry them off since we picked the berries in the rain and they needed to be dried off before we frozen them in bags).

These berries weren't small either...they were round as the end of my thumb.  So delicious.  After this picking we got five days of rain without a break and all the berries split and fell off of the bushes.  We were so lucky to get all these berries.

Jealous. That is all I have to say! We saw fields of blueberries on our drive to Vancouver. Oh, to be able to have blueberries to pick. Heaven!
