Blueberries








Blueberry season is here which meant we got up at 5:45am to get to the fields to go picking. They said they didn’t open until 7 but we thought we should get there early. Good thing because there were already about 50 cars there and they were only letting 100 in! We stayed for about 2 hrs and came home with 60lbs! We’re set for the year now and still have 2 bowls left to munch on.

We’re getting ready for some hot weather here. They say it looks like it’s gonna be the hottest weather in 15 yrs. We looked for tickets to anywhere yesterday so Noah and I could fly and visit someone with air conditioning but unless we got the tickets 14 days in advance it was CRAZY expensive. I guess we’re gonna be sleeping in Noah’s room where the air is.

Here is a picture of the garden at our friend’s house that we’re sharing. We’ve had some beets and peas from there so far. Oh broccoli too. It’s looking good.
Last weekend we went camping with our friends. (the ones in the blueberry picture) It was great fun. Noah and Bree were covered head to toe in dirt and they loved it! It was nice however to come home and get clean and sleep in our own beds. That’s the news from OR. Thanks for putting pictures up of Garrett!

What about tickets to SC! I'm sure we'll be cooler! NOT! Envying your blueberries! Enjoy for us! Your garden looks great by the way - very healthy. Good job!

I did look for tickets there...it wasn't that bad but again, we had to get them 14 days out. I figured you would at least have air conditioning!

60lbs? WOW. Last time we went, about a month ago, we were able to pick about four and had so much. Hope ya'll can stay cool in the heat.

Wow! That's a lot of blueberries! Yum! This week I'm going to be making some blueberry muffins for our camping trip coming up! I'm sure ours aren't as good as yours though! Is that Ryan Keck in the picture with you guys??
