8/25/10 A BERRY GOOD DAY

A SUNNY, BLUSTERY MORNING
PICKING BLACKBERRIES
HIGHLAND VALLEY FARM
BLUEBERRY PICKING MACHINE
THE BLUEBERRY BARN

Wednesday, 7:30 AM. 57 degrees, wind W, brisk. The sky is mostly clear but the barometer predicts rain (but not likely soon).
We picked up our winter supply of frozen blueberries at Highland Valley Farm yesterday morning, and checked out their new berrypicking machine. It does not replace hand picking for retail sales, but is good for final picking of berries for juice and wine. Later Tom, Barb, Joan and I went to Andy and Judy’s camp and picked blackberries; so it was “a berry good day.”
Last evening we rode the ferry over to Madeline Island and back in the dark, the full moon unfortunately being clouded over. It was chilly but pleasant. We may do a little fishing off the dock in Washburn today.
