One advantage of living here is that there are numerous places to go to pick blueberries. We have had the opportunity to pick them as a family and I, most recently, had the chance to pick them all day! It was such a beautiful day and we picked and picked and picked! It was great! My family didn't even mind giving me up for the day because they knew I'd come home with lots of blueberries for them!
Riding a float plane out and picking blueberries and seeing beautiful mountains were such a delight. I felt like a little kid! So, after picking for about 5 hours, I came home with about 2 or so gallons of blueberries. (The really good pickers gathered 3 gal. or so!!) Carlon and I ended up cleaning blueberries well into the night. We spent about 3 hours cleaning and freezing them!
It was time well spent. That night I could just taste all the wonderful things that come from blueberries...blueberry pie, blueberry pancakes, blueberry muffins, blueberry icecream, blueberry cobbler...and so the list goes on! Yum!! A friend of mine put it perfectly, she said something to the fact that this is the best kind of harvest, one you don't have to plant or take care of, but just wait for the Lord and come take your share.
Ali, thinking she's going to go with me.
