A Day at the Farm!

Summer is my favorite season for many reasons. Here's one...

But I also like it because everyone just seems in a happier mood. With the sun shining, how could you not be? I'm spending a lot of time with my parents this summer (the place I'll always call home). They had a few days off this past week and I was happy to go on a day trip with them to a blueberry farm! Picking blueberries is a new reason why I love summer so much.  I wish my sister and brother were there to share this with me (being an only child is getting old...I miss you guys!). It reminded me of my Grandpa and how much he enjoyed a good blueberry.  These berries were enormous! I'd never seen anything like 'em. But what I think I enjoyed most was how simple things seemed on the farm.  The farmer and his wife had time to sit on the porch and enjoy a glass of sweet tea- something I think many of us would kill to have time to do. The only sounds around were bees buzzing and birds chirping. It reminded me that I need to take time to sit back and smell the roses  pick some blueberries every now and again!

Any ideas of something unique I can
make with all of these blueberries??

And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer. ~F. Scott Fitzgerald
