Evelyn Ford and Ronan Kendrick jumped off their horses and went to the blueberry grove behind a snowdrift. The blueberry bushes were laden with fruit. Evelyn took the basin Quincy handed her and began to pick them.
Everyone was excited. For people on a long journey, finding fruit trees felt like a small comfort for their weary souls.
"Even though it's cold now, the fruit won't last for too long, will it?"
"We can make it into blueberry jam to preserve it."
Blueberries have many benefits, such as improving eyesight, enhancing memory, and providing antioxidants.
If made into jam and sealed, it could be preserved for several years.
Evelyn decided to dig up a few blueberry bushes. She was more interested in the bushes themselves than the fruit.
Behind the blueberry grove was a small courtyard. The group decided to spend the night there and look for some food to restock their supplies.
