Friday we joined some friends for blueberry picking. Ryan ate his weight while Colin and I picked and picked with thoughts of all the yummy things we were going to make when we got home. Blueberry muffins were first on the list and were ready for dessert that night. I let both boys help which was a riot. I wish I had pictures! You're never seen quite so much flour and sugar out of the bowl. Ryan has not quite figured out that we have to cook some things before we can eat them. We had a few tears when the muffins went in the oven. They were worth the wait!
Saturday morning Colin really wanted to share the picking with Daddy so we headed back down south. We went to Henley's farm and picked blackberries, corn and green beans. Colin, Dave and Ryan all managed to avoid the thorns but I actually got stuck on one of the bushes, Dave had to help me out. ouch! The boys got to sit on one of the tractors and we had a great conversation with one of the resident roosters. A very fun morning! When we got home Colin insisted on "carrying in the harvest". He was quite proud of our labors. I made a blackberry-blueberry pie that was delicious! We still have lots of berries left so will have lots more yummies to come!
