Blueberries

Blueberries are one of my most favorite things on the planet. They're cute, they're highly portable, they're sour, and they're wonderful in so many things (pancakes, muffins, cereal, my mouth ...).

This morning, my mom, Natalie, and I drove up to Molino to pick blueberries. It was miserably hot, but the blueberries (and my car's AC [another one of my most favorite things on the planet]) more than made up for the heat.

I was carrying Natalie in my sling and she had on a big floppy hat, so the only part of her that was exposed to the sun was her right arm that she insisted on flailing around. I was worried she's get sunburned if we stayed too long, so Mom and I only picked for 20 minutes or so.

But we ended up with about 3 lbs of blueberries which cost us a grand total of $2.06! If we had been Natalie-less (carring around an extra 16+ lbs is not conducive to effecient blueberry picking) and/or it hadn't been so hot, we definitely would have picked more. But 3 lbs is great! Especially since I probably ate 4 lbs while we were picking (just kidding, Mr. Blueberry Farm Owner).

I can't remember the last time I had fresh-picked blueberries. They're w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l. Like ten times better than ones from the grocery store.

I can see a few more trips to the blueberry farm in my future.
