blueberry picking

this year, i went blueberry picking twice (on august 2nd and 9th) and each time was a delight. the weather last saturday was probably the best because of the light rain and slightly cloudy skies making it just bright enough and cool enough to enjoy the day without getting tired over picking. my friends and i went to a charming place out in langley called krause berry farms. in addition to having u-pick you can also enjoy a delicious serving of corn pizza or other baked goodies.

it wasn't the first time i went there. last year was also a good time for berry picking. the farm has plenty of other choices if you don't like blueberries. they also have raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries. if you like berries, i'm sure you'll enjoy this place.

when i was younger, i would also enjoy fruit picking but usually secretly in my neighbor's farm. my siblings and i would sneak into their fields and grab up as much fruit as possible before heading home. the fruit seemed to taste better when it was eaten in secret.
