A Gallon of Blueberries!

Today Curt and I got off of work a little after 3, headed home, and he mixed up some pizza dough to rise. Then we headed over to our good friends, the Gibbles.

The Gibbles have their very own Blueberry farm. Fresh organic blueberries are fun to pick, and even better to eat!
This past weekend Curt and I had stopped with some friends at a roadside stand, picked up some South Carolina peaches, and looked longingly at a little pint of fresh blueberries that was way overpriced. Thankfully, at the Gibbles if you pick your own blueberries, you can buy a gallon for 15 dollars. That will make a lot of pancakes... and cobbler... and blueberry cheesecake (which is what Curt plans to use them for).

Please excuse my unruly hair- it doesn't like humidity!

We had been planning all week to spend our Friday picking blueberries, but watching the weather this week, I was concerned. It looked like rain all week. Even this morning only showed one hour when it wasn't raining. But, as the day went on, the temperature dropped- to a mere 63 degrees in South Carolina!!! (That's a whole lot better than the 103 it was on Monday!) and the rain stopped! The weather was just perfect!!!

Then there were the blueberry bushes. The bushes were loaded, branches straining under the weight of bunches and bunches of blueberries!!! It only took us about 45 minutes to pick a whole gallon!
So, all that to say, if you're in South Carolina Upstate- check out the Gibbles' Blueberry Hill! It's well worth the work of picking! (Oh, and they sell the blueberries already picked too, if you don't have time to pick yourself).
