Did you grow up picking blueberries during the summer?

I remember being at my grandma house during the Summer Time. My Grandma had the Biggest Blueberry Bush in the Town or in the eyes of 10-year-old little girl. I would pick bowls full of blueberries to put in our pancake for breakfast or try experimenting making blueberry jam with my cousin.  My cousin and I poured endless amount of sugar to make it sweeter – we eventually learned that the blueberries were not in season yet.  No one else would taste the blueberry jam we made because we smashed it with our feet.
