Now there are scones and then there are scones with chunks of cream cheese tucked in them. Now we're talking!!! Grab handfuls of those luscious at their peak blueberries and you've got the special scones. You know, the ones for company..friends and family over for brunch, impressing the neighbors; that kind of thing!! Serving these warm from the oven on a weekend morning with coffee is a special treat for my family and for me, lol!!

Sometimes, I like to double this recipe. They keep for up to a week in the fridge and are great heated up slightly.
