Blueberries.

I adore this place.  Hillcrest Farm is just a short drive away from our house.  Far enough to feel like you are a world away.  In other words, in the country. 😉  I always feel rejuvenated when I reach that red dirt road.  I’ve lived her almost 6 years and never had the pleasure of picking fresh blueberries in the Summer.  It’s quite the Southern staple, don’t you think?  I just could not let another summer pass me by, so the boys and I planned a little field trip with our friends.  Off we went to the farm.  When we arrived, we said our hellos to the family like we were old friends, petted the dogs, fed the chickens and caught up with Ms. Laurel.  When you go, make sure you spend a few minutes chatting with her. You’ll thank me. 🙂 They each got a blueberry bucket and we set off down the neatly manicured rows of blueberry trees.  I thought it would be difficult to find any ripe berries…I know so many people go so often…but there were hundreds readily available and so easy to reach for the kids.  When blueberries are $1.25 per pound (yes, you heard that right!), you want to make sure you get all you can!!

I’ll never know exactly why a visit to this little farmhouse does wonders for my soul, but it does…sometimes it’s better just to capture the moment, than to question it.
