Blueberry Love

On the 26th of last month we headed north to check out OSU's agriculture research area which was hosting an open-house. Our first stop was to blueberry heaven.


Over 400 different varieties of blueberries and all for the picking.

Some other folks had the same idea, but there was more than enough for us and any number of bears that might stroll through.

We ate enough to make it through the winter and then some. Our favorite variety was "Elizabeth."

Even Lydia liked the taste of them!

Sahara ate herself into a stupor.


This past weekend, our favorite blueberry u-pick farm opened up after being closed for a few weeks. We arrived at 8:00 a.m. and it was already packed. The bushes were COVERED with huge, gorgeous berries! Pure joy. We picked fifty pounds in two hours - enough for the winter, pies, jam and even ice cream.
Life is good.
