Seth and I were invited to go out and pick blueberries this morning! A friend of a friend owns some land that used to be part of a berry farm. We picked five gallons--FOR FREE! I haven't gone berry-picking since I was a little girl. My mom and I used to pick raspberries and blackberries from the bushes that grew out behind our backyard shed. I should have taken a picture of Seth in his suspenders with an ice cream bucket threaded through his belt; we both looked pretty funny, actually.
I did take some pictures of our haul...
We will freeze them on sheet pans, place them in plastic baggies, and pull them out as we need them for pancakes, muffins, batter breads, etc. I like to eat them straight from the freezer, also. They taste like little frozen candies!!! Luckily, we are getting our first deep freezer within the next couple of days. The timing is perfect, as our garden produce is really beginning to come on now!
I'm so thankful for this blessing of free food!
