WILD BLUEBERRIES AND A DEER LEG BONE

WILD BLUEBERRIES IN BLOOM

PATCH OF WILD BLUEBERRIES AT THE BEACH

GEE, BOSS, LOOK AT WHAT I FOUND!
Thursday, 9:00 AM.  45 degrees F at the ferry dock, 47 on the back porch.  Wind variable, calm with occasional light gusts.   The sky is overcast, the sun hidden.  The humidity is 96% and the barometer is rising, now at 29.91".  We got a third of an inch of rain last night and the forecast calls for cool damp weather ahead, which is good weather for planting trees and shrubs.
   Today will be devoted to laying out a big planting job on the lakeshore.
   Buddy has been in bvad need of a run so we went to the beach late yesterday afternoon, where we found native bueberries blooming.  They grow in large patches, mostly on the back of the dune.  I will watch for them to be ripe but I often miss them and the birds and animals get my share.
   Buddy found a whole deer leg bone, which he thought a great prize, and was unhappy with my admonition to "leave it."
