July, fun-facts & Blueberries..

150 million the number of hot dogs Americans are expected to consume on July 4, kind of gives new meaning to the term "downward dog." :)

blueberry facts:
*a single bush can produce up to 6,000 berries a year.
*Native Americans used the fruit, the leaves, & the roots of the plant to treat coughs, flavor soups, and dye cloth.
*They're big in Japan: More than 500 metric tons of blueberries are shipped there from the United States each year.

July is Nat'l Blueberry Month. To find a place to pick near you, go to nabcblues.org
See you all on June 2o @ Fox-n-Hound Pub for SummerBash & on June 24 Green Drinks Mason
