We headed out yesterday and the kids got to work. They have a little business with returning customers every year, they pick blueberries and sell them to their “clients”.
Rush was a big help this year…. they should have weighed him when he came in and when he left. I left about $5 extra to cover the 3 lbs I think he ate while we were there!
We were only there an hour but they picked about 20 lbs. We will be going back almost every other day for the next month until they are gone.
Its that time of year again! Blueberries!
I have waited 11 mo. for fresh blueberries!!! My kids eat them by the pound. Last year at the end of the season we picked 17 lbs. in about 45 min. I thought I might be finally able to put some in the freezer, less than 8 hours later my kids had eaten the entire 17 lbs! Out of the 102 lbs. we picked last year only 3 lbs. made it to my freezer!
* Do you have any idea what the diaper of a baby who has only eaten blueberries for 2 days looks like??? I am not going to take a picture, you will have to use your imagination!
If you are in the Houston area and want to go to the best blueberry farm there is here are the directions.
Pioneer Blueberry Farm:
Take 1-45 north almost to Conroe, exit loop 336 south and go right or east at the light. Take 336 east until you come to 105. There is a gas station and McDonalds at the corner. Take a right and go east. At this point set your odometer! Take 105 east for 8.6 miles. You will be looking for a little street sign that says Pioneer Lane. Turn left on Pioneer Lane. Ed Harger’s blueberry farm is about 1.2 miles down on the right side. He is open sunrise to sunset every day. Blueberries are $1.75 a pound this year, he uses no pesticides.

Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
Sounds like a ball…
I am quite familiar with the blueberry "flavored" diaper. We are currently dealing with blackberry flavored potty training accidents. Ah summer!
You have the cutest kids. I'm going to steal Rush.
Blueberry diapers…..gotta love them! My daughter can eat them by the pound as well. We love your blog!
Lucky….I wish we lived close to a farm like that!!
