I went berry picking this week.
Since the kids are older now I figured
we could really get the grand haul of blueberries, so I enlisted their help.

Instead, it was the
smallest amount we have ever left the patch with.

I was happy to have
the company just the same.
Seeing all of the beautiful fruit waiting to be picked makes me happy...as does stuffing my face with fresh blueberries!
I also got to go blackberry picking with a friend. They were wild berries, so I do have the cuts and scrapes to show for it, but they were free. More delicious berries...
That made me happy too!
The holiday gift basket stash has been started, with blackberry jam and blueberry jam. That makes me very happy!

Funny how helpers sometimes end up not being much help :). Fresh fruit is always wonderful
ReplyDelete52 weeks of happiness! What a wonderful blog hop to be a part of! Love your post!
ReplyDeleteFun! I went blueberry picking a few weeks ago. It was so much fun! I'm sorry you didn't get as many blueberries as usual, but what a great family activity. :D
ReplyDeleteWe used to eat mulberries right off the trees during summer when I was a kid. Seeing all those pictures made me reminisce--and hungry for blueberry pie!
ReplyDeleteOh blackberry picking! That takes me back to some pretty happy childhood memories.
ReplyDeleteA couple of months ago moved away from our cute little cottage that had blackberries (and cherries, lemons, oranges, peaches, figs) and I so miss them!
So, how do I wrangle some homemade jam?
Your teenage boy looks so happy to be there...lol
