Blueberry Picking Skies June 27 #SkywatchFriday

Yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day, after almost two weeks of warmer than normal (for the most part) weather, and three power failures at our house.

Our winter this year was milder than normal.  We are having various plants blooming or fruiting weeks or days ahead of schedule.  

Yesterday, we picked blueberries for the first time, and this is possibly a couple of weeks sooner than normal.  Come along with me and see some blueberry like skies.

This farm scene looks so tranquil, but it was anything but in February when an EF-1 tornado tore through this, and a neighborning farm.  It took 17 trees belonging to the U-Pick operation with it but fortunately the blueberries were affected.

I love that blue sky.

I don't miss the humidity of most of the past two weeks, either.

The blueberry bushes.

I'm happy they were able to open yesterday (and today), but they won't have more blueberries until after July 4.

I love blueberry picking season.

    Such a nice day for blueberry picking! My blueberries died after the last few extra hot and smoky summers.

    I love blueberries. Ours aren't ripe yet. We don't have to put up with tornadoes, fortunately.

    We used to grow high-bush blueberries in our backyard, but it's been a few years. Your post reminds me that maybe we need to do that again.

    I've never picked my own blueberries, but now I kind of want to. It looks so fun!
