So I sat down on Wednesday evening to get my new post out and a huge storm blew through and immediately knocked out the cable. A couple of hours later the power went out. Luckily it was only out for a few hours, coming back on around 2 a.m. We had 2 1/2 inches of rain!

Back to blueberries. We have 60 pounds of the beauties. Yes, 60. No typo. We used to go out each July to pick our own. Not difficult, the bushes are generally around 5', but in hot and humid July always a sweaty endevor. Once the kids came along, we were very limited in the amount of time we could convice them to do this. Kids are not much into delayed gratification, though they could actually eat the fruit that was picked. Needless to say, we haven't picked our own for years.
D was talking to a coworker who said he bought blueberries yearly from a lady who picked for him. The first year we ordered 20 pounds. It seemed like a lot; but we went through them like wildfire. Next year, 40 pounds, thinking surely this will last all year (blueberries freeze like a charm). Nope, we ate every last one and were reduced to buying frozen wild blueberries. So this year, 60 pounds. WOW it is a lot. We have two small freezers and they are packed full. Now I need to start baking to use up what didn't fit in the freezer. A la bubba gump: Blueberry pie, Blueberry crisp, Blueberry cobbler, Blueberry sauce, Blueberry bars . . . . .
