Huckleberry Hounds

Blueberries....

Hi G-Fans!

Until a few minutes ago the concierge did not know the difference between a huckleberry and a blueberry.  

She knows now.

Why is this pertinent you ask?

Well, tonight we went for a walk and ended up learning how to pick blueberries.

All of us, except Bertie, joined in helping ourselves to the bounty of exploding bushes with the little blue berries....

My, I did not know what I had been missing!  Raphael and Tessa found them particularly delightful.

Harry led the way in taking on the picking, but he enjoyed even more when his concierge pick them for him so he could gobble several up at the same time.

I don't think any of us knew we were missing out on such a fine treat!

Oh, back to the huckleberries...

There were berries that looked a lot like the blueberries, but sparser and darker in color and the leaves were not quite the same and the bushes were taller than most of the blueberries.

Apparently, according to the concierge's research, those were the elusive and untamed huckleberries.  We will be sure to seek them out on our next walk and compare them to the low bush wild blueberries we have been delighted with the last week on our forest walks....

By the way, it was another lovely summer day with low humidity, so we were quite comfortable.

So, tomorrow is Friday and I don't know if we will get a good walk or not....

So, may you always remain open to learning new skills on your road to adventure....!

TTFN!
