Just pick whichever blueberries look interesting. I picked those that looked ripe, those that came off easily as you brushed against the bush (cos it means that the plant is willing to relinquish those berries). And guess what? Some of them were actually very tasty!
Others around me had huge, humongous berries. Why pick the large ones? They don't necessarily promise much flavor.
In any case, I ended up with a huge container of lovely blueberries, and then proceeded on to get some peaches (I didn't pick these myself). The peaches were gorgeous, bursting with summery, light yet rich, flavorful rays of stunningly sweet flesh. Golden orange, with coral red streaks patterned in a spidery crawl all over its smooth surface. Yummy and fantastically ephemerally beautiful. YUM.
In any case, I'm happy now! I just hiked for 3 hours at Sleeping Giant yesterday! Thought very little, and just concentrated on putting my next foot in front of my current foot. My hiking compatriot seemed to be nonchalantly hopping around, but unlike most people, I do not possess dextrous feet (have you seen how many scars I've collected over the decades??!).
So, life is very much like that. Just walk, stomp, crawl, hop, slither, or fly on, depending on your mood. Oftentimes, it doesn't even give a hoot about your mood. You just have to go with the times, change accordingly, be flexible, and try your best to move on. Woohoo!
My lab experiments are working! YAYYAYYAYYAYYAY.

Are they wild fruits or from a farm? If the former, I'd be very excited too!
