Picking Blueberries

 On Thursday my daughter planned a trip for us to pick blueberries at Hillcrest Blueberry Farm. 
http://hillcrestblueberryfarm.com/  I can't say that I recommend the last few days of the season and 100 degrees, but in spite of the heat we had a great time.  We only picked one gallon of blueberries. 
The grandkids enjoyed checking out the berry picker.

 The blackberry fields were already closed, but we bought some.  We also bought plums and different jellies.  Bought a jar of strawberry nut honey butter.  An unbelievably great topping. All I've put it on top of so far is a spoon.  The "nut" is pecans.  

They sold blueberry lemonade that was a great thirst quencher. Hopefully, next year we will remember to go in May.

  7. Limited berry picking in Arizona, we have to buy them at outrageous prices. Don't even get me started on the cost of mushrooms.
