Blueberry Muffins

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill

On blueberry Hill when I found you

The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill

And lingered until my dreams came true

Well, I just had to include these lyrics.  I've always loved the song and I think it goes very well with these blueberry muffins.  I dedicate this post to my cousin Marissa, who loves my blueberry muffins.  We often reminisce over blueberry muffins and tea.  And in case you've never heard the song, "hit it, Mr. Armstrong!"
