We have read Blueberries For Sal 100x! Sal and her mother are picking berries for the winter alongside a mother bear and her cub. Super cute book.
I had so much fun hanging out with Luke and enjoying his sweet, friendly personality without any distractions.
He was amazing! Such a little trooper the entire blistering morning. Didn't complain about being hot or thirsty one time! He captured a few hearts along the way and caused a few laughs from pickers on the other side of our bush. He was so proud of every plump, juicy berry and showed them to all of the ladies picking their 4+ gallons.
I think some of those ladies are out there for hours. I would think a row of raspberries were picked through and sure enough I would pass some rock star berry picker with a quart of stellar raspberries.
Luke has a thing for bugs, worms, caterpillars, centipedes, etc.....basically anything he can step on, pull apart, crush with a stick, hold captive, collect, etc. He hit the jackpot:
That one blueberry bush was covered!
Check out these babies! Large, juicy and sweet blackberries. I am so thankful we have a local berry farm.
I found an easy, low sugar jelly recipe in Family Fun so the kids and I made jelly.
4 cups of berries
1 1/2 cups of sugar
box of pectin
mix, bring to a boil, boil for 1 minute, ladle in jars, cool, freeze! That easy.
