This is just to let you know how hot our weather has been this week, I took this picture on our patio at 6:30 PM...Sunday Father's Day
Good morning y'all, it's Monday and that means Blue Monday at SmilingSally's place...
Today for Blue Monday I'm stretching it a little, it should be know as blueberry Sat. post, but since there is a lot of blue in these pictures, small little blueberries....I'm using it as my Blue Monday post...
Sat. Rissa, her Mom, and I took a road trip to Puckett, MS...a beautiful little town and farm community about 30 miles from Richland, we were headed to....
Hopes Fruit and berry farm to pick blackberries and blueberries.
Isn't this a pretty place, it was nothing but woods in 200, when the Family bought it and cleared land and planted blueberries, apples, peaches and blackberries. They also raise vegetables for the Farmers Market in Jackson, but we enjoy going and picking our own... So we grab our buckets and off we go....We picked blackberries first and of course I forgot my camera in the car, so when we finished picking we went to the house to get more buckets for the blueberries and I grabbed my camera....
Rissa Mom and Rissa busy picking them sweet berries, Rissa is very good picking, I had trouble keeping up with her....
Enlarge pictures to see the tons of berries on the bushes,

Some how RissaMom, wound up with the camera, ugh, boy was I hot, we went early and got there at 8:00 but by 9:00 it was already 90 degrees and so dry.....
OK, so I had to take a water break, we took frozen bottles of water with us and in less than an hour in the heat they were thawed and hot...we picked 7 lbs each and called it a day....the heat was just too much, even for Rissa. She had to find some shade too.I can't wait to make blueberry pancakes with fresh home made blueberry syrup for breakfast this morning.
Rissa was enjoying a bottle of cold water while we paid for our berries. We really had a good time and even hit a few yard sales after we left and cooled down some. But that is for a different post. That is my Blue Monday offerings. I hope you enjoyed them. For more Blue Monday Posts please visit Smiling Sally by clicking here.
