Remember the children's book "Blueberries For Sal"? In the story, a mom and daughter go out blueberry picking only to be followed by a mama bear and her baby. Well, there aren't any bears in my post, but Callie and I made a spur of the moment decision to go blueberry picking today. After seeing an ad in a local magazine we decided to drive out to Shuqualak Farm. It was a very hot day, but otherwise the weather was beautiful--and the farm itself was even prettier. I think I could get used to living someplace like this!
They gave us a "handy dandy" pail and strap and we set out to pick some berries. 
The bushes were full and the berries seemed to just fall into our hands.
An hour or so later and our buckets were full. 
As the berries were sorted and bagged, we enjoyed a homemade blueberry Popsicle on the front porch. It was the perfect way to spend an afternoon. Since Callie and her husband will be moving across the country in a couple of weeks, I cherish every bit of time that we get to be together!
