Summer Fun - Blueberries and The Herb Farm Visit

It is a summer tradition extending back many years to eat blueberries and read Blueberries For Sal by Robert McCloskey, so to actually go and pick the berries is a fun addition to our family's established practice.

This year we picked just over 6 kilos.  I think we will have to go back!  At only $7 per kilo they are so much cheaper than in store!
Cedar and Arrow had their blue buckets and were very good little pickers for me.  They probably ate a lot of berries so they got a morning of antioxidant top up!

Butterfly spent her time picking berries with her friend.
Done for the day - a lovely morning spent picking berries and catching up with friends who were there picking too!

From the berry farm we, including Grandma, my sister and her boys, headed to The Herb Farm!  {a botanical day}
