Saturdays in June are a special time for my family because
it’s blueberry season. And there’s
nothing more satisfying than fresh blueberries, right? Think of all you can do with them! You can make Blueberry Muffins, Blueberry
pancakes, Blueberry Jelly, Blueberry Syrup, etc., etc., etc. And of course, there’s nothing else like a
big bowl of fresh blueberries hanging out in the kitchen where little hands and
big hands alike can grab ’n go!
So Saturday mornings we head to the blueberry farm. They give us each a bucket and point us in
the direction of the rows where berries can be found. And off we go! Much to my delight, the sounds of giggles take
flight and happiness engulfs us, every one.
The hunt for berries usually turns into a hunt for each other because we
lose ourselves in the process. And before you know it we’ve collected as many
berries as we can carry!
We pay the farmers and often get entangled in gardening
conversations with them before we’re on our way back home. And don’t you know, the minute we reach home,
somebody’s pulling out a mixing bowl for whatever our fancy is for the morning……
because we’re hungry! And that, my friends, is the perfect Saturday
morning at the Flynn Household!
What do you like to do with your family on Saturday mornings
when school is out and summer has begun?
Do you have favorite summertime family traditions?
