Red pop with caffeine

Today we explored the Gold Barn blueberry situation.  Alas, we arrived probably a couple of hours too late.  All of the blue crop were sold out and they were retailing the Drapers.

Drapers?

More new information.  What happened to the Eliots?

Afternoon rolled around and we three had another nice ride.  We got all the way to the PSPS where my FT was positively brilliant.

Brilliantly colored.
Who doesn't like red pop with caffeine?

We eventually got some blue crop berries at the farmers' market.  Verdict?  Better than what we had maybe but not up to previous years' standards.  The hostess suggests that it depends on which berry you sample, some of the berries are sweeter than others.  We have sorta settled on the idea that the biggest problem is the horrible weather and the  disruption to the growing season.

I'd still like to get to the Gold Barn before the blue crop has run out and they begin to turn to the dreaded Drapers?

I personally love red pop with caffeine now and then, and it is way too hard to find. Thank goodness for the PSPS.

Your FT would make a good spokesmodel for Mountain Dew's Code Red.

Ah, red pop with caffeine is always a good thing. Did you know Diet Mt. Dew (in any form) is not available in Canada?
