We are excited to see that our blueberry bushes (purchased last year) are bearing fruit!! Cameron and I first discovered them this morning. She wanted to go check (for some reason) right before we left for ballet.
She was kind enough to just pick one of the very few ripe ones and she happily left the rest to pick with Dylan and Chloe later.
I knew there wouldn’t be enough to satisfy everyone’s appetites for “bloobs,” so I shelled out a whopping $16 for 4 pints of the stuff…!
After work and school-pick-up, we all went outside to pick the remaining ripe ones. Chloe LOVES “bloobs.” It was tough to pull her away from the bushes (the one she has in her hand could have used more time!) and we could only get her away by enticing her with our big ol’ strainer filled with store-bought blueberries!!
Hopefully, our little bushes will produce more than once! I’m super happy that more interesting fruit is already beginning to appear in the stores, though! The kids definitely see fruit as a treat…and it’s a much better after-school snack than crackers or cookies, etc. And they’re always ready to snack on something when I pick them up!
