Bumper blueberry season coming up

Published Monday, July 6, 2009

It seemed that everywhere I turned Sunday, I bumped into blueberries. I found them in the woods, in the swamps, in ditches, by the side of the road.

They were bigger than I've seen for a while and some were already turning blue. I took this picture from a friend's driveway in Two Rivers on Sunday.

I haven't been out to popular spots on Murphy Dome or Wickersham Dome lately, but in the lowlands I think we'll be out picking in the next two weeks or so. Fresh blueberry pie topped with vanilla ice cream sounds really good right now.
