Blueberries

Who knew?
July has been designated National Blueberry Month
by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture.
Native Americans taught the pilgrims about this
healthy food and today we eat these berries
for brain power--and for many other reasons. 

Blueberries begin as small green berries.
As they change to blue their size increases.

"Blueberries as big as the end of your thumb

Real sky blue and heavy . . ."  -Robert Frost

This pie holder holds no pie yet, but maybe it will
provoke you to collect some blueberries and
begin.
