M14 Blueberry Farm Reviews · Two Tools, No Clue

• Jeidan and Anna: Hey everyone. Welcome to the Two Tools No Clue podcast. I'm Anna. And I'm Jeidan And on today's minisode mini but great! We have no clue about blueberry farm reviews. my gosh. How do people have this much time on their hands? Yeah, who knows? I'm always curious about that. We have no clue. But we're about to find out together. So fasten your tool belts. I'm excited. I went on the good old Yelp and TripAdvisor. I think there's like one TripAdvisor review on there, and then the rest are Yelp. wow. Okay. But I found reviews of random blueberry farms in the US. There were some from Australia, but I didn't include them. Blueberries in Australia. Yeah. I thought that was interesting. I have something to tell you about blueberries. wait. You're saving it? Yeah. Or I can just tell you right now. Just tell me now. So we got these blueberries at work and they're huge. What? They're huge. How big? Blueberries. They're very big blueberries, like bigger than any blueberries that we've picked from our farm and some of them are really big. How big? Give me a like this big. Like the size of my lens. He's giving me like a golf ball size for our listeners. Yep. That's gross. I can't remember where they're from. If you need multiple bites to finish a blueberry, that's too big of a blueberry. Let me look up Where they're from. It's from California. That's where they're grown. Mm-hmm. But I guess in China What made what I wanted to tell you about too is they have ones that are like huge. They look like they're peach, they're like plus size, but they're blueberries. And yeah, that's weird. Yeah, that's too much. So anyway. I wonder what those taste like. They taste like blueberries. You think they're wicked watery? I mean, yeah, blueberries are juicy. I bet they're just juicy. I mean like watery in flavor. Because they're so big. I don't know. I don't know. Anyway, back to my reviews. The majority of the reviews that I got are weirdly from Oregon for no particular reason, other than there were a lot of pick your own farms to choose from with ridiculous reviews. Okay. I don't know what you guys are doing out there. Maybe, yeah, do something different. Yeah. on your blueberry farm So the way this is gonna work is I found a bad review from each place that I'm gonna read first. Okay. And then I'm going to read a good review from the same place as like a form of redemption. Got it. I like it. So our very first review comes from Morning Shade Farm in Canby, Oregon. All right. Jeff H left them a one star review. Do we trust Jeff's? Do we? I don't know. They're right on the edge. Jeffs, you're right on the edge. I guess it's dependent on how it's spelled. That's very true. Anyway, go ahead. He says, my wife was really excited to pick some Marionberries, Boysenberries, and Currant to make jam and cobblers. We got out to morning shade early to beat the heat. The current plants had been picked pretty clean, but we were able to get four or five pounds in an hour of picking. Wow. My problem is with the boysen berries and marion berries. The six rows of these berries had been picked to within an inch of their lives. We looked long and hard for over an hour and were able to pick about six pounds between the two of us. Not a great haul, but enough to get her started. To my wife's horror, as she was rinsing the berries and letting them soak for a minute, we noticed worms coming out of the fruit. It was totally disgusting. I guess they don't manage their vines very well. We have bought Marion and Boysen berries from several fruit stands in the area without any incident. I would stay away from these berries at Morningshade Farm, money wasted as we had to throw them all away. So the first thing I wanna point out is that he said the six rows were picked to within an inch of their lives and then they continued to go in and find six pounds worth of berries. That's crazy to me. Like I think that's a good haul in one hour. Like especially when the bushes are it's probably the end of season. The bushes are done. And you're picking what's left of what everyone else has picked. Like of course they're gonna be wormy. You know? I also just wanna say something, like, okay, we have a lot of blueberry bushes and we don't really we don't have nets on them, like we don't really we don't do any of that. We just pick, but yeah, there's inchworms in there. And that's a good sign. Yeah, you just don't pick those ones. There's plenty of other Sometimes, you know what? They do end up coming inside with us in the buckets and we just take out and off they go because they like blueberries too. Yeah. It's it's their food too. I also wanted to point out they see that he said I guess they don't manage their vines very well and morningshade farm responded to be like, Hi, it's the end of the season and we use an organic spray and because these bushes are done for the season, we don't want to waste any more of our expensive organic spray on them. Yeah. Is basically what they were explaining. But it's just like, my goodness. So Their redemption comes from Kim C, who gave them five stars. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Real pickers. Exactly. She says, I've been picking blueberries in Oregon for over forty years, beginning back when kids made ten cents a pound for picking. Hell yeah. That was good money for a kid on a summer job. I rode my bike over to the farm of a little old Swedish lady who was a family friend. She never spoiled us, nor was she hard to work for. She was just a businesswoman making a living from a beautiful little farm that I will never forget. Exploiting children, sorry. It's funny how we make the best memories from the smallest things. Morning Shade Farm has the best berries. We brought home several pounds for freezing and my husband had to try his hand at growing some. we now have a lovely blueberry patch in our garden. He has room for three more plants, so we will have more of those tasty little jewels next year. and we will still go out to the farm to get berries to freeze, and they do freeze beautifully. If I sound like a commercial for MSF, I don't mean to. It's just a mix of the memories of a former farm kid and the happiness of knowing we can still find places like this to go and get great food for my family. Without small farms and the people who work so hard to keep them going, we would be buying tasteless, mass produced berries and produce from the grocery stores and not knowing what has been put on them. As for anyone that gives this farm a negative rating or comment, Perhaps it is because they grew up thinking that blueberries came in a box with their Captain Crunch. Amen, sister. Yeah, Amen Kim. buy local. I thought that was so funny. And I feel like she was calling them out directly. Yeah. What do you what do you think blueberries are? Like, hi, where do you think they come from? Yeah, exactly. And it's crazy how many people don't know where their food comes from. I could talk on that all day, but anyway. Our next review comes from I don't know if it's Reender's or Re-enders. It's R E E N D E R S. So I'm gonna say Reender's. Okay. Reender's Blueberry Farm in West Olive, Michigan. So Thomas S gave them a two star review. Thomas. Thomas said Reender's has a nice gift shop with baked goods, jams, and fresh fruit. Bathrooms are nice too. Easy access right off of US thirty one and they're Blueberry fields appear to be large and bountiful. I say appear because my wife and children have never been allowed to access them. What? What is what? Two Saturdays ago, I showed up at 5 45 and was informed that they close at 6 p.m. But access to the blueberry picking stops at 5 30 p.m. No problem. I didn't know, and it sounded like a reasonable policy. So I stuck around to shop. We were the last customers there and I tried not to notice as all the employees were hovering near the exits And staring at us for ten straight minutes. This included an older gentleman, owner, manager, who kept peeking out from the back room. So we bought some plums, and as we walked out, they were pretty much slamming shut the overhead doors on our tails as we exited the building. Seriously, I hadn't even walked the distance to my minivan, parked right in front of the building, and the big garage doors had already been slammed shut. Seems a little odd, but hey. It was a Saturday. Maybe they have busy social lives. So I took my family back the very next week. Only so my two-year-old daughter could spend ten minutes picking a few blueberries. We arrived at 5 29 p.m. What is wrong with this man? Yes, I admit I cut it close. But I have two kids under three. He sounds like the guy from the valley. What's his name? Danny Four under four. Four under four. What a tool. my god. But I have two kids under three, and even though I wanted to get there by five PM, it just took longer to pack up from the beach and arrive at reend reender's god. Sorry. Sorry. I'm just already angry for this farm. my god, people. Get it together. I expected a place like this would be family oriented and possibly cut us a little slack. So I walked in and grabbed a blueberry bucket. They had no staff attending the blueberry picking station. As my wife said, there was a woman watching you from across the floor, and when you picked up the bucket, I thought she was going to blow out her ACL trying to catch up to you. So I hear the woman approach me and announce that she's sorry. But blueberry picking was closed at 530. I looked at her and smiled and told her I understood. But it was only five thirty one and I had arrived a couple minutes ago. She agreed that it was five thirty one and reminded me, yes, but blueberry picking ends at five thirty. Her tone of voice was unnecessarily stern and a bit unfriendly. I can't. At that point I looked toward the back of the store and realized their wall clock read five forty two. They apparently have their clock set ten minutes fast, and that at least five employees were once again looking on in stark horror that a customer might dare venture into the blueberry fields at five thirty one. I soaked this in for a second and told her that we were here last week and missed it by fifteen minutes. We live an hour and a half away, and we made it here today just in time. This is our second time coming, and I have a little girl who just wants to pick a few blueberries, and we will be on our way. The woman matter of factly repeated that the blueberry picking was closed. I told her that was fine, but we won't be back a third time. There are plenty of you pick blueberry patches and farmers markets in the Holland-Muskegon corridor. So I had no trouble finding a better option close by. Then why are you giving this poor blueberry farm so much grief? That l are an hour and a half away. If they're so close and they're wonderful, what the fuck? And listen. Okay. I know it was five thirty. If you are a grown ass man with two children and you show up somewhere at 529 and you think that that is okay, you're the problem. You are the problem. Like that's crazy. Okay, listen. If it was like 515 and they were giving you a hard time, I would be like, no, it's not. It's definitely not 5.30. It's 515. They can't fight you on that. 529 while you're arguing in this conversation, it is now 531. Like, are you understanding? Right. Like blueberry pick picking takes time. Like, why do you want to rush 30 minutes picking blueberries? You're not gonna get your blueberry amount, you know, that is worth it for you driving an hour. Like, what the fuck are you doing? Small children, you weirdo. And I don't know why you're expecting the beach. I don't know why you're expecting these people to just w wait on you hand and foot, like they don't have lives. I just maybe they do have social lives or maybe they just want to go home and eat dinner and go to bed because they deserve to do that after a long day. That they have to do. After the customers leave, you know what I mean? The world doesn't literally revolve around you. Everywhere to make sure everybody's frickin' out of there to begin with. Like, I don't know. So their redemption there's two because one was well they're actually both pretty short. Okay. Lovesmanly gave them four stars. Okay. They said, Bring the kids. They'll always remember the blueberry farm. It's real. Dirty, hot, smells like fruit and bushes. Buy a bar of blueberry soap for your closet. Bring home a bucket of berries and bake something. Wait. Buy a bar of blueberry soap for your closet? Is that a thing? Like for moths or something? I have literally no idea why they said that. Okay, I'm glad I'm not alone because I really like my brain stopped when you said that. I was like, What I have never had to deal with moths. I don't know why they were such a big deal back in the day. Yeah, I don't know either. I we it we don't have a problem with moths. They stay outside. Yeah. They don't eat my clothes. We don't have an attic. Do you think that's why? Yeah, but it was like in people's chests and their closets and stuff. not inside their chests. Like Chests. Chests. Wooden chests. KimmyH1985 gave them five stars. They said, We always buy from Reender's They have great blueberries. If you've never done the blueberry picking thing, I definitely recommend that. But if you're like me and don't have the patience to pick pails of blueberries, just go to their store and buy a box. Or two. I also like to freeze them and use them for baking later on. If you have kids, the blueberry picking thing is fun to try at least once. They have an old barn filled with antique tractors and cars. That's fun to see if you haven't before. Lots of blueberry related items slash gifts in the store also. I wonder what time she went. Yep. They all seem to enjoy themselves. They got there with an appropriate amount of time until five thirty. What time do they open? Probably not like Like 8am Noon at the latest, you know. Yeah. Let's be serious. It's a farm. So this is another farm that I have no idea how to pronounce, so I apologize if you're a local and you're like rolling around on the floor about this. Email Anna. Yes. Albeeky. Albeke. Alb I'm saying Albeeky. Where is it? Albeke. Where is it? A L B E K E. Albeke Albeke Okay. That's in Oregon. Yes. Albeke Oregon. Yes. Albeeky. It probably is that, but that doesn't sound good. So we're gonna go with the other one. Yeah. Okay. This is Albeke Farms in Oregon City, Oregon. Hali S. gave them a one star review. Hali Okay, go ahead. Hali said, I've been going here with my family for a while and had an okay experience. But on our most recent trip, we brought our new little five month pug with us and the lady was very rude and told us to put her away. There were two other people asking us questions about what we wanted to pick, so we couldn't put her away right then. And she yelled over to us, I need you to put the dog away now. Very rude. I was shocked. I was even more shocked that she was making us leave the puppy in the car while it was hot out. At least offer water. No. There wasn't even a no pets allowed sign, so how were we supposed to know? And it wasn't because she was worried about the dog poop, but apparently there are other dogs. Maybe they should take the time to train those dogs. When we got to the picking, The berries they were very small and sad, and less than half were pickable, and we weren't able to move to a different area. I suggest picking at a different u-pick Okay. Just because your dog is not allowed in somewhere doesn't mean that the property is responsible for your dog being hot in your car. You're responsible for your dog being hot in your car. Like just keep your dog at home. Yeah. I would never bring Stevie blueberry picking to like a c like a lot that wasn't ours. We love Stevie. But we always check if Stevie's allowed. And then we second think if Stevie can handle it because she's a COVID puppy. Yeah. So like that's on that's on you, Hali That's on you. Maybe the lady didn't have to be so rude, but I just wonder because it's a five month old pug, if it probably wasn't on a leash or anything. Yeah. They're probably holding it. Yeah. So even if they had a dog policy, it was probably like your dog needs to be leashed. Yeah. There's probably so much in this that isn't said. Yeah. Michelle R is their redemption. She gave them five stars. Ooh. I have recently changed my status from Oregonian to Idahoan. And I was thinking, given it's boysen berry season in Oregon right now, and they don't really grow at all that easily anywhere else, this year I'd miss out. Imagine my delight to find Albeke at the boise farmers market with boysen berries to sell last week. Wow, cool. As my husband and I exited the market with the berries and other treasures, two women stopped me to ask what they were. I told them and offered them a sample, but you know with boysen berries it's like the old cheech & chong line. Hey, hey, hey, the first one's free. Hey, hey, hey. Because they are addictively good. Even at the steep price of three dollars a cup at the Albeke booth, I'm happy to pay for it to get my fix. Last week I walked right up to the Albeke table to make my purchase. This week I had to stand in a sizable queue with other people who were there to buy boysenberries and marion berries. First of the season, they said. And raspberries and bluebli blueberries And black caps. Only this week, they said. I was happy to wait because that means Albeke is doing brisk business and maybe that means they'll come back to boise next boysen berries season too I know how to be patient. Thank you so much, Michelle. People are like people are very obsessed though. Like berry obsessed. Very obsessed. berry obsessed. So our next review is from Hoffman Farm Store in Beaverton, Oregon. Beaverton, Oregon. And these first two aren't actually about blueberries. They have blueberry picking there, but these reviews are just like so funny. Okay. They tickled me, even though they weren't about blueberries, so I included them. I still want to hear them. So Alicia J gave them one star. I understand times are tough. But I do not believe this excuses rudeness or poor customer service. Oi vey, I was happy to try out a new pumpkin patch this year, but unfortunately the corn maze is riddled with bees slash wasps. Having a life-threatening allergy. We Ha ha ha. Okay, sorry. Having a life-threatening allergy, we asked for a refund or store credit. We were met with a very vicious owner who stated to us she was running a business and couldn't hand out refunds. What? Reluctantly, they refunded our money for a service we couldn't enjoy, but not without a lecture from the owner on bees, farms, etc. It was completely unnecessary and rude. I know about bees, farms, etc., and have been to many corn mazes. This was far more than usual. This owner did not have any regard for my safety and well being, will not bring my business here again. Fair warning to those with this life-threatening allergy. Yo, that's the risk you take for going outside when you have allergies like that. Especially to a fucking farm. Are you kidding me? In fall? No, I also just want to say I'm not laughing that she has a life-threatening allergy. It's just the way she's saying it. Like I understand times are tough, but such a man, okay. Sorry. That was a good that was a good one. You got me. Now I am crying. god. Okay, what's the redemption? Their redemption is from Kirsten C, who gave them five stars. Okay. Amazing family time. Sorry. What? Amazing fun family time. The barbecue was delicious. So many pumpkins to choose from. Lots of family fun to be had. Our train car derailed when my toddler son had his first train ride. That was the only hiccup for his first pumpkin patch visit. And the the the owner responded, being like, Yes, that does happen from time to time. Glad you still enjoyed your trip. How traumatic for your first pumpkin patch visit. And she gave them a five star review. Yeah. my god. See, there's just different types of ways that people respond to things. They either understand that life be life-ing. Yeah. Right. Or they're just like a serious Karen about it. Sorry, the nice Karen's out there, but like Thanks Kirsten C for being a nice person in the world. man. And I did include one review about their blueberry picking from this place. So Adele F gave them four stars. Okay. She said, What better way to pop my fruit-picking cherry than with blueberries? My friend and I dropped by on a late Saturday afternoon to grab buckets and pick blueberries. Of note, they kick customers out of the field 15 minutes before closing. Sounds familiar. What was that farm farm name called? The first one? Yeah. Morning Shade Farm. Do better morning shade. Yeah. They these people only need fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes. Just kidding. Adele said we had to pop our Asian squats for 30 minutes of picking since most of the berries on on the outer fringes of the bushes had already been picked, meaning that we needed to reach deep deep. Down for the underbellies of the blueberry bushes. All our hard work yielded deliciously ripe blueberries at an affordable $1.75 per pound, and we threw in some $2 mini pies, marion sour cream, tayberry and peach berry, and a $4 bag of kettle corn for good measure. Wow. The farm also had blackberries and tay berries, though the bushes available for picking were pretty naked when we swung by. Not a problem. The blueberries kept us satisfied. Again, first story. Like this is their first time too. You know what I mean? Yeah. They they this they've never been before. There's but they're like, that's how that works. Okay, you're done growing. It's all good. People yeah, people who understand nature. Humans don't have a lot of control over that. Some but when the yield is done, the yield is done, my friend. So our next review is from Nappe Blueberry Farm in Boring Oregon. And that's not me calling Oregon boring. That's apparently a place in Oregon. All the kids in boring Oregon are like, I'll get out of here, mind. Yeah. I won't be bored for the rest of my life. This place is so boring. This place is so boring. So For their bad review. Nelutu-Claudia C gave them one star. What a name. Okay, what's she got to say? And I'm assuming she speaks a different language, so I'm not gonna make fun of how she's speaking too much, but I am gonna read it just as she wrote it. Okay. Understood. I wish I was able to put no star at all. That's what I would have done. Whoa. We went to pick blueberries last week. When we got there, someone was handing buckets without any further instruction. So we picked up the bucket and we went and picked up blueberries very excited. Mm-hmm. we returned today. I went and picked up two buckets from the table. They were pretty busy. No one was handing them today. So I picked them up and we went and started picking up blueberries from one of the fields where we thought we want to pick. After a few minutes, a man came. Suppose it was the owner and very, very, very rude, started asking us why are we here in this field? Did we check in? And I said, Where do you check in? Because I picked buckets and was nobody handing them. Then he asked me if I know how to drive. We said three times, I am sorry. We didn't know we are not supposed to be there. He said we are hiding behind the cars. Literally the parking lot is there and there were cars. He said, You are going in people's property and do whatever we want. We really didn't have any idea we were not supposed to be there, so we left. We will find another farm in the future. A real asshole. Yeah, that I that was kind of rude. Yeah. But then as a redemption, Kathy gave them five stars. She said, first time coming to this you pick farm to pick blueberries. We came into a gated area with three different languages on the signs telling people where to check in. They learned their lesson. English, Vietnamese, and Chinese. We got a pail from the front. There was three to four porta potty available at the check in area. Lots of area to wander. There were only two varieties available to pick at this time. It was good sized blueberries farm. lots of room to move around. We had a great time here. Thank you. Do you think the sign came up before or after the first interaction? Probably after. You think you think those people just completely missed the huge sign that said check in here. Yeah in three different languages. Yeah. No I because it really could go either way. Yeah. People are oblivious. Okay, so on to my favorite reviews. Okay. Personally. From Patty's berries and bunches in Mattituck New York. And Mattituck What is going on? I wanna know. So B as in B-E-E J gave them one star. Okay. For the first time, I was so excited to go blueberry picking with my kids today. For the first time. Wait, okay. Is it their first time going picking and they're excited? It's the first time that they were excited to do this with their kids. Alright. Okay. For the first time I was so excited to go blueberry picking with my kids today. We had an awesome time picking each one of them and couldn't wait to come home to wash and eat. Except as I was washing, found one maggot. So I was like, That's weird. So I kept watching. So I kept washing again. Saw another and another. so got scared. Do you think they were maggots or you think they were inchworms Honestly Because people get people get Yeah. They don't know what they're talking about. It could be either. I don't know. She doesn't describe them. Was very disappointed. Now it's been a been a hour and still washing and reading many articles and suggestions. Trying all that and still seeing maggots in caps. How do I throw them away? Now I have seen it's in my head and will be hard to eat them, so will keep trying. Won't be doing this again only because of the maggots in caps again. This lady is like beside herself. She's like trying to convince herself back in and then she's like, No, the maggots! I can't unsee what I've seen. I can't unsee what I've seen, but I'm gonna keep trying. But I'll never do it again because of the maggots. Because of the maggots. End of story. I like how she started and everything was fine, and then every time she said maggots, it was in all caps. So their redemption comes from TKM who gave them four stars. And I want you to remember at the end of this review that they got four stars, not five stars. What's what's with all the letter names? It's just whatever you you put your name on. DJ TKS. People don't want to be known. Got it. Okay, sorry. They're not gonna be like, this is Tammy Smith. And I hate your business. Well, I mean Kathy and whatever her face was telling the other people that they hated their business. True. Say it with your chest. They're braver. Yeah. Yeah. So TKM gave them four stars. I have never gone on a pick your own PYO trips ever before. And the whole prospect of blueberry picking was both exciting and mysterious. Pick your own. Pick your own. You gotta first pick a good place to do pick your own. Originally we were aiming for Lewin Farms, but for the past two weeks I have been constantly dialing their number, hoping to speak to a living being on information. But sadly, every time, it was the same lifeless, cold tone, mechanical. Automated system telling me the pick your own fields weren't available and call back to check for the next available date. So screw you. To avoid more frustration, I went online and after ten minutes of searching, I found Patty's berries and bunches, made a phone call, got a live representative, and within five minutes got all the information that I needed. Good for you, Patty. By taking the LIE 495 all the way past Riverhead in about two and a half hours with minimum traffic. What we wrong with people? We arrived in fields of luscious green. Due to the early morning shower, the berry fields were under a blanket of husky grey. Seeing the emerald field stretch from our standing spot to the end of the smoky horizon was both tranquilizing and soothing to the soul. Unable to restrain ourselves any longer, each one of us grabbed a basket and dashed quickly into the fields. My fiance was having such a wonderful time, seeing her darting in and out of the blueberry bushes, laughing and giggling like a carefree young teenage girl. Occasionally calling out for me to check up on her juicy rewards. The sight of her wonderful smile when she held up a blueberry, as if it was a precious jewel of the deepest blue sapphire, and her melodious laughter resound resounding in my ears were enough to transfix me as if by some mysterious spell. Making me wonder if I were not the most luckiest man to win her hand. Heaven is but a place on earth. And of course, there were often other blissful times when I too, busy stuffing my mouth with handful of sweet blueberries. At the end, we returned home with pintful of blueberries and enough sweet memories that would us a lifetime. Four stars, not five. Yeah. What? Like are people in Mattitck are you okay? Who what? Who's it sounds like a lot of you are doing drugs. I'm just gonna put that. Write your lady a letter about your day. The world doesn't need to know. And you're not as like it's not sounding as beautifully written as you're assuming. It's just sounds overly done. Weird. I that's just me being judgmental though. So our last reviews come from Mountain View Blueberry Farm in Snohomish, Washington. Okay. Alyssa N gave them one star. Buyer beware. This one star rating is for the sugar free blueberry syrup I purchased a couple weeks ago with my blueberries. Wait, syrup. Okay. the first ingredient in it is maltitol, which I've since learned is a sugar alcohol that is known to cause harmful digestive effects, including extreme diarrhea, gas, Bloating and abdominal discomfort. I experienced terrible symptoms after having some of the syrup on my waffles. This product should be discontinued immediately. oh yeah. And they overcharged me a one dollar for it. The sticker on it said eight ninety five and my credit card statement says nine ninety five. Not worth it. Does does does Washington have tax? Because I feel like that would do it too. I feel like that's the same ingredient that's in those sugar free gummy bears that makes everyone shit themselves. Yeah. Yeah. It's like what? Just Don't eat things that add sugar into it. It doesn't have to be like sugar free. Like it's already blueberry syrup. Yeah. If they're taking out the sugar, they're putting something in to replace it. Don't get it twisted. So their redemption comes from SL, another anonymous, who gave them five stars. What? Best berry farm ever in all caps. I love people like this. We came here to pick berries last week. At some point I lost my debit card. When the panic set in that I had lost it at the blube farm, I was immediately got in contact with them, and they were so fast to respond and let me know it was safely put away in the register. Phew. Eighteen month old was easily able to pick berries and reach the bushes himself. We got one of the little blue tins and filled it all the way up in maybe twenty minutes. They have you scattered enough that you're not overlapping anyone, and there are plenty of berries for everyone. Staff is the sweetest. We picked a little over two pounds. We will absolutely be back. No cards left behind this time, winky face. That would be terrifying. Yeah, that would be me. Honestly. It's been a while since I lost it, knock on wood. Yeah, knock on wood. Alright. And then a for our farmer's almanac Today. Are we Getting a haircut. Let's see. Today is September third. Happy September. September. Wake me up when September ends. There's a conjunction of the moon and Uranus. What are you doing to me? Okay. And novelist Alison Lurie was born in 1926 Today's the best day to quit smoking, begin diet to lose weight, move and wean. Those are new ones. What?
