Blueberry Picking

On Saturday we went down to the Tougas Family Farm to pick blueberries & raspberries. I had never done it before- it was so fun! Well.... picking the blueberries was fun. Below are pics of Felix digging in the trees to get the good ones. They were so big and sweet, and easy to see and pull off. We picked 6.5lbs of them!!
The hard part was picking the raspberries- we were only allowed to pick by the pint, and there were not that many available, and you had to look through the short bushes and under the leaves, and there were lots of bees buzzing around as you stuck your hands in there. I managed to pick enuf to fill up my pint and then was outta there!!!
We have so many blueberries, I love it! You can just scoop them up out of the bowl by the handfull- and they are delicious. I hope we can eat them all before they go bad.
