The blueberries were plentiful.

On the evening of July 6 we ventured down to Champney’s Farm to pick our own blueberries.  We’ve never picked our own fruit before, and thought it could be a fun (and interesting) experience.  We arrived, did not run over the beagle who was eagerly sniffing moving car tires, payed our $8 and were given two gallon pails.  One was lined with a plastic bag, and was for holding all the blueberries.  The other pail was to allow us to each pick our own blueberries, and then combine the bounty.  The woman who gave us the pails also gave Louisa a belt so she could stick the pale on it to simplify picking.  We had a lot of fun picking berries, and are now waiting for a blueberry crisp to finish cooking!
