Hello lovelies!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  On Saturday the majority of my family got together for a morning of blueberry picking at a farm about an hour away from my home.  Blueberry picking is something that I've been obsessed with the idea of since I was a kid (Blueberries for Sal was my favorite book), but had only actually done once previously.  To say I was excited would be an understatement.

The forecast called for rain but we were determined to pick buckets-full regardless.  It turned out to be the perfect day.  We picked for about 15 minutes and then the rain began.  By that time we were already having so much fun nobody wanted to stop.  Even my little 8 month nephew was enjoying himself (reaching out and picking his own berries).Some of the beautiful people in my family: My daughter, my nephew, one of my sweet sisters, and another one of my lovely sisters...basking in the wonderful rain.Dork alert.  I couldn't resist, and brought one of my empty Bonne Maman jars with me to use as a photo prop.  As soon as we arrived at the berry farm I spotted a table covered with a charming tablecloth and it ended up becoming the backdrop for this last shot (one of my faves).  xo Ez
