Whose the Fruitiest?

Travis joined us again on our annual blueberry picking excursion to Lexington, SC and we came away with forty-four pounds of the succulent orbs. Berry Hill Farm has to be the very best blueberry picking venue in the whole world!! Hundreds of bushes line the rows of this city farm tucked in the Red Bank area of Lexington and we joined other families eating and picking their fill from about 7:00 until dark on Friday night.
Blueberries are one of our favorite fruits and we bagged them up for the freezer for future use. What to do with all of these berries? Dale's first choice is blueberry pancakes but we also love them with yogurt, cereal, ice cream, and pie or cobbler, and even in salads. (I'm counting on the antioxidents to ward off dementia.)
The bushes were loaded. I spent 45 minutes picking one bush!

The farm supplies you with buckets and a waist strap so that both hands are free.

They should have weighed Dale before and after the picking!
