Blueberry Fields Forever

We've been trying to keep things normal this week. Stay busy. Minimize bad thoughts. Enjoy the kids and the sun. We've baked and decorated cookies, had friends visit, gone to a water park, and Jordan and I even went on a date last night! Thank you to everyone who's made this week a little more bearable.

This past Sunday, we had an especially good day. I was feeling better from the surgery, and had still not heard "the news". We hit up the blueberry patch and enjoyed sweet treats and hot sun. Were we ever successful, getting even more than last year. The addition of a third picker who actually picked more than she ate was a big help! A nice family activity and 25 lbs of the world's most perfect fruit to enjoy through the fall and winter.

One of the few Nolan picked - he preferred the dirty, rotten ones on the ground.

Mama and Ashy resting. Rockin' a scarf in the summer is HOT let me tell you. But I only sunscreened the kids, not myself, so vanity aside it had to stay on!

25 pounds of goodness!

Packaged and ready for a winter of smoothies and baking.

Crashed in the car after a fun (and apparently exhausting) morning.
