Blueberries


Our blueberries are in!! Tonight we went out for the first time this year to pick blueberries. We were only out for about 5 minutes and harvested around a half pint. There are plenty yet to be picked but we didn't have the ladder out. Yes, that's right, we need a ladder the bushes are so big! Last year we had a freeze on April 15th and we think it hurt the crop since we only got around 25 cups or about 13 pints. We hope to have many more this year since we have had some nice weather and some great rains. We're keeping tally and will let you know the total when the last blueberry goes down the gullet!

And if you stop by, who knows, you may just happen to be around when we have some...

Blueberry Muffins and Muffin Tops
Bumbleberry Pie
Blueberry Pancakes
Blueberry Vinaigrette
Blueberry Beer
Blueberry Jam
Blueberry Ice Cream
Blueberry Daiquiris
Blueberry & Asparagus
Blueberry Cheesecake
Blueberry Cobbler

...or many many more ridiculous yet tasty blueberry creations!
