berry picking

We returned to Columbia Farms on Sauvie Island for some more berry picking - blueberries and raspberries this time. It was cloudy in the early morning when we arrived, thank goodness! We picked probably 10 lbs of berries and ate a couple more in the fields. I was glad that my theory regarding children and fruit picking - that four is the magical age at which they become useful, and pick more than they eat - held true. My kids were troopers.

So far I've made a blueberry cake, at Seb's request, but we've mostly just been eating them fresh, in fantastic quantities.
