Blueberry Picking, Hidden Mickey - 196/365

Today was our annual blueberry picking day at Haus Cider Mill.

We LOVE picking the berries. There is nothing like loads of fresh blueberries. Reagan does a fantastic job at picking berries. She knows just what ones to pick. 

It was to funny because it's usually so quiet, but today on their roosters kept crowing. Reagan kept screaming "Nana, Mommy do you hear that rooster." She was so excited to hear a real rooster!

We ended up with 10 pints! YAY. I love to freeze some for smoothies. 

This evening, Jim has his first rotary board meeting that he wasn't in charge of. He was excited to go and just be a "spectator" instead of being in charge. He said it went well and he thinks Terry will be a great president.

While he was at his meeting, Reagan and I went over to meet Nana and Papa for dinner at Tippy. We had a nice little dinner. Papa was excited to see Reagan since he hadn't seen her for a couple days. 

After dinner, Reagan likes to play on the putting green. There were a few darker green spots than the rest of the grass. She looked down and shouted "hidden Mickey!" Sure enough a few of the darker patches were in the shape of a Mickey head. Mickey is always on our minds!

We had a nice dinner!

It was blueberry time again! We just love going to pick the fresh blueberries at Haus. They are just so delicious!!! YUM!

Regan really does a great job picking, too! We usually get a couple big baskets full!

We like to go first thing in the morning. There is no one around and you get your pick of the bushes! Reagan loves the ride on the golf cart out to the blueberries. It's always a fun morning.

This evening, we attended calling hours for JoAnn's sister Gerry. She was such a sweet lady and she will be greatly missed. We brought Reagan with us, (she stayed in the hall) which helped everyone smile a little bit. They don't have many tiny ones in their family, so they were so happy to see her.

After the calling hours, we went with Nana and Papa to Antones for dinner.

Blueberry Picking - 190/365

It started out quite the ugly day. It was really gray and misty out. Yuck!

Nana came over to take Reagan to music class this morning, so I could have a little extra time to get to editing my photo sessions from this weekend. They had a great time and nana even got to hear her favorite song, Elephants Have Wrinkles.

After music, they came back to pick me up and we were going out to Haus Cider Mill to do some blueberry picking! We went last year and they were the best blueberries EVER, so we wanted to go for sure this year.

Blueberry season is pretty short and they opened pick your own last Friday, so we wanted to get there ASAP. Being it was a rather ugly morning, there wasn't anyone there! We had the pick of the patch! We had the best time and Reagan did a great job! She had it down... only pick the big blue ones and leave the white ones alone. LOL!

She was rather fascinated with the chicken coop near the blueberry bushes. She kept telling them to, "be quiet!" LOL! Then she would say, "Rooster say cock-a-doodle-do!" She also loved the fact that we were picking some blueberries for AJ, too!

We finished up and went in the store to pick out some other fresh produce. They had awesome looking zucchini, green beans, raspberries, and tomatoes. We loaded up and were on our way.

By this time, it was nearly 1 o'clock and we were starving. We went out Western Reserve Road and had lunch at Carmella's Café. YUM! Reagan was free in the booth without a booster, so that was quite interesting, but she was pretty good.

We came back to the house and I got straight to editing. Nana was SO WONDERFUL that she took the tractor around the yard for me!! YAY! What a TREMENDOUS help that was! THANK YOU, NANA!

When Jim got home, he took Brinkley and Reagan for a walk on the Kirk Road trail, so I could continue on my editing quest. He picked up some yummy salads for dinner on his way home. What helping hands I had today! Awesome hubby and awesome nana!
