Blueberry Picking 2005 and 2006

Yesterday we went blueberry picking with our playgroup. Last year we went in July as well so you can see from these photos that not much has changed: he still sits down on the job to enjoy a snack, he still eats straight from the branch, he still sits with one leg bent under him and the other out straight, and he still can't stop eating long enough for a photo shoot.

Yesterday we drove an hour to pick 5 quarts and unfortunately our refrigerator caught on fire early this morning and we lost all the blueberries along with all other frig contents. Lots of black sludge covers the inside of the fridge and it made the entire house smell horrible but nothing else was harmed and we are very blessed. This morning we bought another frig to be delivered tomorrow. And maybe just maybe we can find a closer blueberry patch and go pick some more on Friday. I know Spencer won't mind--this is one job he enjoys.

Sorry you lost the blueberries... and the fridge...and the rest of the food; but so relieved that no other damage was done, and that all of you are safe. So wish I could be there to see all of you. Would even be worth changing blueberry diapers, which must be impressive, to say the least....

oooh nooo! Sorry to hear about your fridge - how did it burn on the inside? Never heard of that happening before but better inside than outside. Your kitchen is beautiful! Can't wait to read more of your blog but I must go to work now.
