Pickin'

We went blueberry picking!

It was incredible.

Even writing that adjective feels a little strong, but it really was!

Incredible!

It was like a wonderful sensory overload. 

We drove out into the country. 

The corn was growing, there were these rolling hills surrounded by trees. 

The sun was shining, the air was fresh. 

I have not seen something so beautiful in such a long time.

I probably just need to get out more, but still, it was simply gorgeous.

And just what I needed. 

I needed to be surrounded by beauty. To be inspired by it. To have nature fill me with happiness.

Am I being sappy? Do I care? 

Oh, and the blueberries!! yum. We ate almost as many as ended up in our baskets.

The kids were happy, and I was happy.

And we were with good friends to boot. 

Thank you Mari for being more spontaneous than me. 

And for having such a cute kid! 

(If Darcy and Jonah get married 20 or so years down the road... I have some great pictures for their wedding video.)

I want to do it again and again. 

But the blueberries only have 1 more week left. Better get crackin.

I think I see apples in our near future. Lots and lots of apples!
