Blueberry Mornings

Posted on August 26th, 2007 by SusieJ

We got hungry, so we went back to the Amish blueberry patch. But this time, I took my camera so I could show you just how tucked away this place really is:

And this was the scale we used to weigh them:

Total cost? $9.50.

Here’s the recipe for blueberry cornmeal pancakes.

Like all of you, I am overwhelmed and am currently working on a plan to eliminate all need for sleep so that I will have enough hours in the day. I'll let you know as soon as I have all the kinks worked out. I treasure your comments and emails. I do read them all.

    [...] That weekend, thanks to your big touches, was one of the most remarkable winter weekends we’ve had in a long time. I can’t wait to see you again this summer. Let us know when the “garage sale” weekend is, as we have a rubber raft we’d like to pass on. And yes, we’ll have some of your home made ice cream too, after we’ve hit the blueberry patch. [...]
