Blueberry Picking 101

Mom took me blueberry picking this morning.  Let me put it this way - blueberries do to me what a brown sugar poptart does to mom.  They put me in that place of inner peace - nothing else in the world matters - it's just me and Mr. blueberry..the only ones left in the universe.  So, you can imagine my utter excitement when we showed up to rows and rows of just beautifully ripened blueberries...AT MY HEIGHT!!  I asked mom what it would feel like to arrive at bushes of brown sugar poptarts that were for the taking - I'm fairly certain I caught her drooling.  So, let me show you how it's done.
