Man was it hot. We went blueberry picking at my grandma and grandpa's house in upstate New York when we visited them this summer, and it was so hot that you started sweating just standing outside. My cousins and aunts and one of my uncles, and my parents and siblings and grandma went picking and my aunt wanted to fill several buckets full to take home and freeze, so we had some serious work to do. Of course, the heat kind of got in the way, and we stopped picking earlier than we had hoped, but it was still a really fun time talking and laughing and filling our buckets with luscious blue berries. And maybe we filled our stomachs too.

Deletei went blueberry picking for the first time in my life in Idaho a couple of weeks ago. I loved it! we got so much. I only hated the spiders! They were everywhere and i was scared to grab some berries hiding in the bush..
