Keeping Up with the Joneses: Blueberries for Sal Blueberry Dessert Recipes, Blueberries For Sal, Robert Mccloskey, The Joneses, Blueberries, Michigan, Dessert Recipes, Dessert, Art

I have been posting blueberry dessert recipes because me & my little sal picked over 3 lbs of blueberries in Michigan and we needed to use them! It was the BEST time. And L was an amazing little picker! I had so many moments of thinking back to the book - whether it was her overalls, her little blond pony, her little pail, her saying "kerplink kerplank kerplunk" when she would drop them in.... It was just so fun - here are some photos of my sal & the book sal :)

Robert McCloskey's magic comes from his writing from life. He grew up in Ohio but went to art school on the east coast. When he married, his wife and two daughters became the inspiration for many of his stories, as did the little island off the coast of Maine where they settled during the summers. His stories feature a few wild animals, a few wild humans, and lots of charming illustrations.
