Can't you smell the sweet aroma of the berries from Mother's stove wafting thru the air? Stirring that pot of bubbling jam with the foaming 'skum' (that's what we called it) on top ... soon to be carefully skimmed off & put into a bowl to later smother the loaf of freshly baked bread oozing with melted butter. This was just as near to Heaven as one could get ...Visit the other 'Love Is...' ladies.

Just a couple years ago Joshua & his friend Josh took off together. We then went on our first blueberry picking trip to Josh's grandparents orchard in Thurmont, MD. It was a very hot morning. We feverishly picked to get out of the sun, took home these huge beauties & packaged them for the freezer.
We both chuckled, Joshua is going to be THRILLED since he loves blueberry pancakes & muffins.
Later that day Joshua called to chat ... we both said at the same time 'I have a sur-PRIZE for you!' We offered each to tell their surprise to one another.
Joshua & Josh were both at the orchard at the exact same time we were, picking blueberries for us ... 20# worth. They were a few rows way from us.
Boy did we get a good laugh! & we love to share this story with every blueberry creation.
