Blueberry Pickin'

Today was a special day! Mom went to the library program with us and treated us to brunch at Cracker Barrel!

Afterward we made an attempt to go blueberry picking at the Tin Barn in Guthrie, only to find out they aren't open on weekdays.

So Mom suggested we stop by a little farmer's market that was nearby. It was a neat little stop! Found some fresh corn, good looking tomatoes and peaches. And there was a little kitten there for Anna Claire to chase and watch!

Mom thought to ask the lady there if there were any other berry patches nearby. She suggested one to us in Adams and said they WERE open every day for picking. Say no more! We were on our way...

The bushes we were directed to when we arrived were loaded with blueberries. We have a couple of blueberry bushes in our garden at home that produce a grand harvest of about 10 berries a day, but no where near what these were producing. There were no thorns, no chiggers. Just soft grass to sit on underneath. Anna Claire and I actually sat under a couple of bushes for the longest and picked a bunch, eating some, and letting some fall into our basket on the ground. 

We will definitely go back in a few weeks when blackberries near their peak. We are BERRY crazy around here!
