Berry Picking...

Picking blueberries... it's been years since I've picked berries. In fact, it was when my two lovely daughters were just little girls themselves! And now, here I am with my "baby" and her babies! What a treat! We headed out early to avoid the "crowds" and visited the cherished farm that brings joy in the fall with pumpkins and cider and now in the summer with sweet offerings that come in a tiny round blue ball. To begin our adventure we stopped at the little country market that's here on the farm for a few homemade cinnamon donuts... Yummers!! I'm loving this country livin'! ha! (click on photo to enlarge)

The hayride out to the berry fields was as fun as any amusement park ride I've been on! Yee-haw!!

Mommy and her 3 little treasures. Baby brother pretty much slept thru the whole event, but I'm sure he'll enjoy the pictures when he's older! I so appreciate that Little Mommy wants to ensure that her kids are aware of life's simple blessings.

We were each allowed to choose a berry of our own to taste. Big Sissy took this very seriously and chose carefully!

Little cutie pie didn't really understand the concept of "just one" and quietly indulged in several of these sweet treats! And of course "Bear" was included in the fun!


Such a special treasure in a tiny blue berry!



Big Sissy is always such a great helper! Wowie! Look at all those berries!

Whew! This is a lot of work!! Time for a little rest! ha!

Another reminder that the best things in life are truly the "little" things! xo
