If you've never gone to a farm or orchard and picked your own fruit, you're truly missing something. There is a connection to nature, the land and the farmer, an appreciation you can't realize when you grab a bag or can from the grocery store. Hearing the birds singing in the surrounding meadows, feeling the sun's warmth on your skin, the cool sensation when a cloud floats by and of course swatting a few bugs along the way. Bring your friends and take the time to share stories and enjoy each others company.
Here's a recipe I think you'll enjoy. This comes from my mother-in-law.
Cream 1 cup sugar and 1 Tbl butter, add 1 egg, 1 cup sour cream, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder and 2 cups all purpose flour. Mix well. Take 1 and 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, and if wet, roll them in flour to coat, then add to batter. Fold gently until berries are evenly distributed. Put in muffin tins and bake 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
( I always put mine in paper liners in the muffin tins. They stick like mad if you don't)

Thanks Carla! Looks like a good recipe. I froze most of mine, but set some aside to make pancakes and muffins..
