Blueberries

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. - www.wyattjourney.com
