We headed back to Kruger Farm Market yesterday to pick more berries, this time blueberries and raspberries. The strawberries are pretty much gone, but there are plenty more varieties of berries left for the summer. Blueberries are among Ryan's favorite fruits, and he was so excited about going to pick them. Mommy was excited because they are by FAR the easiest berries to pick, wash and eat. They are sturdy and last quite a while in the fridge, and if you pick too many, they freeze beautifully!
When we left the house the thermometer in the van said it was 60 degrees, and by the time we got to the farm and actually started picking I'm guessing it was about 65 degrees. The sun was shining and it was just perfect...or so I thought. I had to laugh when Ryan sat down under the berry bush to get into the shade because he was too hot! He's a true Northwesterner, that's for sure.
It is still early in the blueberry season so there weren't huge quantities of ripe berries to harvest, but we managed to pick a quart or so fairly quickly and then headed to the raspberry patch which was a long walk from the blueberries! The raspberries were pretty well picked over that day, but we got a pint and half before taking the long walk back to the car (and the bathroom).
