  • It was a glorious three days and just editing this vlog got me seriously nostalgic to be back in the blueberry patch or even on a paddle board.
    just in case, I did do a VoiceOver twice in the vlog, it does sound like I have a cold but it's just the effect that I added.

    Giselle, you and your friends were doing work when picking blueberries and yet you also had fun. You were smiling, laughing and enjoying the companionship of your friends. It seemed as though worry and frustration was lifted from everyone. We all need these little breaks from our daily routines. Thank you for bringing us along.

    A thank you to you and the girls for sharing your blueberry picking trip! The berries are so bountiful, so glad there was lots to pick. It’s so rare these days to see people enjoying themselves while they work and relax in such a natural environment. This is my favourite video (and the one 2 years ago). The singing in the evening was wonderful! Bless you Giselle 😊🙏

There is a lot of negativity and just plain lousy stuff out there, it’s refreshing and nice to see content that uplifts. Thank you for sharing your world with us.

    My family has camped many times at Rushing River. So beautiful with the rocks and pine trees.Are you camped on another colony's property or a family camp? Wow the blueberries were so plentiful. I didn't even knew they grew wild in that area. Where I live we pick Saskatoon and chokecherries. I'm sure the colony back home will enjoy them.

    I’m so pleased you had a break and had fun. I have a disciplined life like you do being a teacher and it is good to be beside the still waters at times so to speak. The fellowship fun and friendship you have with those girls is so precious. I’m closer to 60 now but seeing you altogether reminded me of church holidays of my youth. Thank you for sharing it, we have so many blessings knowing Christ, the altogether lovely One I love the choruses, He is present in our praises. Thank you ☺️ you a bright light in many of our lives.

    In the 1980s I used to ride my moped out here to the farm to pick blueberries in summer. My moped only went 30 mph top speed. It took me 2 hours to get out here. I used to leave at 5 Pm after work. I'd pick blueberries for 2 hours, till 9 PM then head back home, which took another 2 hours (one ice cream pail full). I'd get home at midnight. My dad was phoning people who lived along the road, asking if they'd seen me go by. Silly me, I could have camped here overnight and went back early in the morning and still gotten to work on time, because I started work at the job I had at 10 AM. But that thought didn't occur to me. Needless to say, the next day at work I was sneezing all day. In my 20's and 30's I used to sneeze all the time during blueberry season. I've since grown out of that. There are only a few blueberries here where I live now.
    I had lots of saskatoons and chokecherries.
    When I was a little kid, we used to go blueberry picking. An old man used to drive us out to a pine forest.
    The adults used to pick big pails full but us little kids mostly ate our fill and only had to fill a small pail. Then we used to play "I spy" to entertain ourselves. My dad told me years later that he left a radio going, partly to keep bears away.
    Well, I just had to tell that little story, because Story happens to be my last name. When I was a little kid in elementary school, some of the other kids used to say to me, "Story, tell us a story".

    Hello from Quebec. Thank you for the great video. Giselle, what is the name of the place in Ontario where you picked blueberry ?

    A while ago I saw a video of a man here in the uk who was going to walk end to end of the uk. One day he looked out of his tent and was musing that he missed his usual favourite blueberries. He glanced over and saw some growing wild! 😁🌸 he ate some and it gave him the boost in spirit he needed. Anyone wondering the uk isn’t very long, it’s no mean feat of course, but for someone healthy and with the gumption it’s do able. I prefer the train 🤣

    It's always just nice to get away for a few days from daily life. A little change of scenery is a wonderful thing. The blueberries looked fabulous and you had a wonderful time with your friends. Laughter is like a good medicine.

    This was my favorite video. I loved the intro, I loved the editing, I loved the camaraderie, I loved the fact that you showed strong women coming together and working together. But, I have to say that when you guys were picking blueberries all I could think about was snakes. I’m deathly phobic of snakes from growing up in Alabama where we have 13 varieties of poisonous snakes (not including non poisonous snakes). I recently came across your channel and immediately had to subscribe. Please keep them coming and sharing your community with us.

    Those berries! Wow, plentiful this year and to see the bunch of you enjoying the picking so much was wonderful. Thank you and your fellow young women for sharing such a wholesome and happy time with us. I hope you liked your Mauve Beechy book. I love her writing.

    Giselle, I really enjoy watching your vlogs - you are delightful. I have a question: if the community is cut-off from interacting with the world, how can Hutterite's spread the gospel to unbelievers?

    I needed that laugh. When she came out screaming, lol, reminded me of me when the water is cold. Then your ear! LoL! I'm happy you all get to go out and just be girls for a day. I bet you guys slept good. I need to camp but it's got to cool off better here in good ol Missouri, sweat ville lol. Shalom Aleichem Mishpocah ❤️

    What a blessed trip for all of you. I am so glad you got the chance to go on this trip. Just north of me here in N.Y. Now you will have to put the blueberries up if they made the trip back home. I love the container that you picked them with. Makes it so much better than doing each one by hand! How many blueberries did you pick?

    If I could somehow ask this in private I would , but do you really feel comfortable to wonder around without your head covering , although you are not at home in the colony , you are on a trip , does this allow more leeway on what Jesus asked of us ? Or on what Paul mentions about a woman covering her head ....
