Fresh Blueberries 8 miles away

I eat blueberries in my breakfast oatmeal everyday.  I couldn't believe my luck when I found out that Stoecklin's Orchard is only thirteen minutes away from my house, according to Mapquest, and they have pick your own blueberries.  Mike and I checked them out last Saturday.  I now have four pounds of blueberries in my freezer ready to be eaten on a lot of bowls of cereal.

Blueberry plants at the orchard.  

Me doing everything wrong.
According to the blueberry pamphlet, the owner gave me after I
finished picking blueberries, you are not suppose to wear sunglasses.
You want to be able to see the true blue color of ripe blueberries.
Also I am reaching to pick a berry.  The owner says you should hold a cluster in your hand and
tickle the blueberries.  Ripe ones will just fall into your hand.  

My blueberries drying on the counter of my kitchen.
Time to freeze them for another day.
