In case you haven't heard,
Juneau had 11.5 inches of rain in August. One of the
consequences of that is the poor berry crop we are getting
this year. Apparently the bushes need more sunlight to
produce nice tasting fruit. Nevertheless, I found a patch of
blueberries while on a walk yesterday. They looked plump and
delicious but that ended up having little taste. When we
picked blueberries as a kid, we would always let them soak
overnight in a salt and water solution to bring the insect
larva out of them. You wouldn't believe how many worms these
things hold. Unfortunately, I couldn't I find any to
photograph in the berries I looked in. Maybe they all moved
to dryer climates. |
