So yummy. The old man that owned the place was a funny guy. When you pulled in and got out of the car he would decide if you could pick his berries. Yes, it was open to the public but also open to his opinion of you! We must have looked OK because he never yelled at us to leave. That's one of the fun things I miss about my Mother-in-law..our berry picking adventures! Our bushes are producing more these days but not like yours. Jack tends to them faithfully though in hopes for awesomeness like you! yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-52478631850386163902018-05-29T11:12:22.578-05:002018-05-29T11:12:22.578-05:00I was just telling Nick about your blueberry bushe...I was just telling Nick about your blueberry bushes.
