Shades of Purple

Yup, even in our little hole in the wall area we have beautiful wild Maine blueberries. Everything from short groundcover to small shrubs to towereing monstorous bushes. And since most of it is not landl owned by anyone I’ve always helped myself when I had the time. The tiny berries make wonderful baked goods as they distribute better. We even made dog biscuits with them last year.

This week I decided to stop and pick some while out with Boris. Boris decide he likes blueberries. Really, really likes blueberries. Like he sits better for a blueberry than he does for most treats. Its rather funny actually but they make nice training treats. Small, quick to swallow and not messy. Your hands don’t smell like bacon for a day afterward either. Needless to say we’ll be picking alot more. Some to freeze, some to eat, and some to train.

Its snowed again today. Last night the news was covered with the weather reports for 4-7 inches. I woke up to nothing new and was concerned they had the wrong day. About lunch time it started. Light trails of snow started to build up where the puppy’s tail swept random flakes together. As the day progressed it got heavier and I had need to shovel. And shovel again. And even as its now dark when the porch light kicks on I can still see the flakes illuminated in the brightness. It will make for a fun day of errands and laundry tomorrow.
