Wow, that's an awful lot of jam or muffins or pancakes or something. Sounds like much fun was had. Maybe I need to try picking blueberries next weekend. Actually, I think I really need a fruit-picking vacation in Oregon. 30 lbs. of berries? Wow, that’s an awful lot of jam or muffins or pancakes or something. Sounds like much fun was had.

One berry per branch has left its blush of youth, dyed its hair blue, and now screams, "Pluck me, baby!" On the first note of its howl, a swarm of robins swoops from the hemlock. Hawks kree, crows croak, and berries squish within beaks. Let me be frank with you, Ms. M: we do not grow blueberries; we grow bird feeders. And how sweet they are -- I demand the best for my birds. Good thing the organic berry farm is close at hand. Ms. M, you have reminded me of my duty to gorge myself there forthwith. It wouldn't be summer without it. Love you, chica. :-) Picture it: Southern Oregon Coast, July 2006.
