…Pick me a blueberry.’ 20 pounds from a farmer’s stand just miles from our house. Next year we’ll pick them ourselves, but I just wasn’t up to it with the three little boys today (particularly the almost 2 year old).We did a little grocery shopping afterward. The fresh-picked, very local blueberries were $2/lb. Blueberries at the grocery store (in 2 lb plastic clam-shells) were $5/lb. Organic? $10/lb.We’ll be snacking on blueberries all day.
Time to get out the berry books. How about Peter in Blueberry Land? I adore Elsa Beskow’s books!
We even have a Peter in Blueberry Land kid’s dish set!
Then there is the beloved Blueberries for Sal. Can’t miss that one!
Jamberry is one of my favorite board books. I love the rhyming text!
Thoroughly in a berry mood, I headed outside to pick a lovely bowl full of God’s free food gift, blackberries! They’re just getting started, but I have more than enough for Blackberry Gingerbread Coffee Cake. Or shall it be blackberry cobbler? Or both? I’m starving! Heading to the kitchen now…
