Blueberries!

July means blueberry season!  We've been picking our annual supply of blueberries each year from one farm in Six Mile.  They are the best!





It starts by bringing our own buckets.  We then split up, sample a few to know which bushes are the sweetest, then pick it clean.  


Eric is usually the fastest picker.  He doesn't sample as many as we do.


We also move around more to find the absolute best tasting ones.  Sometimes they're the ones hanging low, under the bush.


Almost done!  


After weighing the berries in at exactly 10lbs, it was time to donate a few dollars to the 'sin' bucket.  This is to compensate the farm for sampling more than just a few.  Yep, we're guilty.


Then we ring the bell to show our honor system deposit to the sin bucket.  Plus, it's just fun to ring.
