Fantastic afternoon today. B & I went out for a walk to the bank to deposit checks, and took a shortcut through the woods behind the development next to ours. I dropped my sunglasses (of course — I lose more sunglasses than anybody else I know), and we turned back to go find them. Something in the back of my brain started tingling a memory at me, and by the time we found my sunglasses (only a few paces back), it struck me. The thorny branches we’d been weaving in and out of were wineberry bushes, like the ones up at my grandparents’ house. Being the beginning of July, the berries were just beginning to ripen up, so in I dove, headfirst among the bushes and started bringing up these lovely little rubies. On our way back home (after stopping for lunch, so we now had an empty soda cup with us), we picked as many as I could carry, then started filling the cup. I’d say we probably picked about twice as many as made it home. Truly a profitable afternoon.
