Valentine's Blueberry Muffins

For Valentine's Day we are going to make blueberry muffins. The blueberries that we are using are from a local farm from this summer. The Junior Farmers and I froze the blueberries, and now we're getting them out to make a tasty treat full of love when it feels like our world is full of snow..
