picking blueberries ... a perfect summer day

We did convince Will to eat ONE. This kid is not a fan of fruit... but he will happily drink smoothies. Have I mentioned my wonderful husband bought me a Vitamix for my birthday? We are living in smoothie heaven these days.

Summertime dreaminess.

  2. We have a local blueberry farm and it has its harvest in the Aussie summer in January. Perfect for a day activity during our 6 week school holidays. Like you we enjoy the day but LOVE the baking over the coming days even more!

    We went to Butlers Orchard in Germantown. I did just hear about a another place in Poolesville - "Farm at Home" that has amazing blueberries.

  4. Jen, This does look like a perfect summer day! Our blackberries are in and our blueberries are so close! Wanted to ask you a homeschool question. We are on the fence, as usual, about decisions. Just when I think it's all figured out... :) Have you ever considered classical conversations or known any friends involved in this program? It's on our radar and I wanted your opinion!!
