Blueberries and the Beach

Just like last year when I picked blueberries at Steve and Alison’s field, I got the chance to do so again this past Friday.  It was pretty crazy hot on Friday and all I did was bike to work, bike home, then biked to Steve and Alison’s field, picked blueberries for about an hour and…
