Blueberries

Yeah, I know. Three blog posts in one day is a bit much. But Angel & I just returned from an outing, and it's worth writing about.

Today it is sunny and breezy here at the 48th parallel. 63 degrees Obsolete and sunny is actually very comfortable. Today is the annual gleaning day at the Finnriver blueberry farm in Chimacum. Here's the deal: you pick berries. Fresh, organic blueberries. You give half of your pickings to the local food bank. You keep the rest. Angel and I spent about 2 1/2 hours out in the mild sunshine. We returned with about nine pounds of berries.

We did this last year too. Maybe it'll become an annual event. The people who own the farm are friendly, young folks. Lots of solar and wind energy systems around. Some nice looking buildings. Looks as though they're doing pretty well.

Now we're back and getting ready to have a bit o' late lunch. What a lovely fall day!
