We just bought 20lbs of blueberries from our local Kiwanis Club. They were selling them as a fundraiser for $28. for 10 lbs. I think they came from a Blueberry farm in NJ. We froze most of them by packaging them in freezer bags. Yum - blueberries for the winter!

Oh man! I need to find some around here! Hope there are some at the farmers market tomorrow!!!

Dangerouschicken - my brother lives in Spokane, and I visited there twice in mid-summer. I got to eat cherries right off the tree. I thought I was in heaven.
