Blueberry Picking

One of our favorite things to do this summer has been blueberry picking. We go every week and Nicky has a blast. Grant and I have a great time too and we get to do something that shows immediate reward for our work. Nicky runs around the bushes and is always on the lookout for the "honkers" (the enormous blueberries that are usually hidden in the middle of the bushes) and he is sure to be the one gobbling them up as soon as one is found. We go to the Temecula Berry Co. and always come home with between 6 & 10 pints of blueberries - sure to be gone before the next trip to go picking. We've made blueberry crisp, blueberry muffins and a summer berry pie that were all delicious although Nicky prefers to eat them fresh out of the carton. If you live nearby, you should try it. You are sure to have a great time and some yummy berries to snack on later.
