Blueberries for Sal and the Scottius Maximus family
As a kid, I loved this book! Of course, I loved blueberries and still do! Tomorrow we will go to a little community to pick up our annual order of 50 pounds of blueberries. This supply will only last us until about February or March! I like to eat mine frozen with just a little bit of splenda or powdered sugar sprinkled on top if needed. They are one of the best fruits one can ever eat!

Wish my daughter liked frozen blueberries. She loves blueberries, and I hate to tell her we can't buy them, because they're supposed to be good for you in ways even other fruits are not, but they get so expensive! I can't go on a planned blueberry-picking outing this Thursday, but maybe we'll have to go soon.
Because we bought in bulk, we paid $2.10/pound. I understand what you mean about expense. We try to eat a lot of different fruit that we buy at the store, but we spread out the costs more evenly. Blueberries are the only fruit we buy in bulk. I hope you can go blueberry-picking soon and get a good deal on them! I have never picked them, just picked them up at the farm where we buy them. In my younger days, I helped my parents pick strawberries, cherries, apples, plums, peaches, apples, and all kinds of goodies from the garden. Of course that also meant that I had to help with preserving them as well. I have to admit there was a lot of eating those goodies in between time! :)
Sorry for the off-topic comment, but...is that "Sal" a chick or a dude? Can't tell from the picture, and it is bugging me so.
Sal is a chickie, dear!! Now, I hope you can sleep better tonight now that that is cleared up for you! :)
