Birthday Blueberries

Today is my mother's birthday. I, of course, will not mention her age but we did have a fantastic surprise 80th birthday for her last year.  We started off the day by going blueberry picking near Honor, Michigan. Together we were able to pick 5 1/2 quarts in a little over a half hour. This particular blueberry patch was planted in 1953 by Cracker Baatz. I was amazed at the longevity of these plants. I snapped a few photos. The last one is of my mother, Helen Hill, holding our blueberry bounty. It's been a great day Up North.
