Blueberries and More Blueberries
We went blueberry picking this past weekend. What fun! I am not a huge fan of blueberries, they are generally too tart for me, but the rest of the family loves them. Picking them fresh and enjoying them is a whole different thing. They were so sweet and delicious. Helps that they are so much…
