National Blueberry Month

"You ought to have seen what I saw on my way

To the village, through Mortenson's pasture to-day:

Blueberries as big as the end of your thumb,

Real sky-blue, and heavy, and ready to drum

In the cavernous pail of the first one to come!

And all ripe together, not some of them green

And some of them ripe! You ought to have seen!"

—Robert Frost, Blueberries

Maria Sibylla Merian, Raupen wunderbare Verwandelung und sonderbare Blumennahrung, 1730.

Enjoy National Blueberry Month!
