Blueberry Harvest

It wasn't too long ago that there was a neat discovery on our property:

Blueberries!  We've been watching them carefully over the past few months, just waiting for the moment that they'd be good enough to pick, so Daddy went out once again to check - and here's what we saw:

Don't they look delicious!  Yes, not all of them are ready yet, but there were certainly enough to gather!  So Mommy got a basket for Madison, and together we went to the blueberry bushes to collect yet another harvest!

Madison enjoyed picking the blue ones, but she never once gave in to the temptation to eat any.  Instead, she placed them in the basket that Mommy gave her, and circled the bushes, gathering the ones that looked the best - while avoiding those that weren't quite ready yet.  And speaking of ready, soon it was time to go inside and eat them!

We washed off the blueberries and placed them in a bowl for a healthy snack.  Madison was enjoying them quite a bit - she proclaimed to the entire room, "Dee-licious!"  Daddy and Mommy were outside (Daddy grilling hot dogs, while Mommy was fixing up the tomato garden), and by the time we got back inside, there weren't any blueberries left!

Mommy and Daddy complained, "But we wanted to try some of the blueberries!"

Madison smiled, and apologized by saying, "Too late!"
