Berries Galore!

Well, it's currently 5 am and have been up since 3:30 am and went to bed at midnight. I need to get to a sleeping schedule.

Well, I went Blueberry picking with Myra and Jason to (oh wait I can't tell you because someone from Koyuk might read this and then they would find our berry patch). The common answer if anyone asks you where you went to pick is, "oh, somewhere, a blueberry patch, etc. Myra practiced with me. She asked the question and I answered, but not correctly the first time. I was picking about a quart and Myra and Jason say, "Jeni you have to come see this." I was picking fast and didn't want interruptions. For some reason, I didn't trust them and said if this is a joke watch out I'll beat you both up. I walked to where they were picking and they found the most abundant berry patch ever! It was along a game trail, but no bears...Thank goodness. A carpet of berries filled the tundra ground. I've never seen anything like it. One branch on the bush was covered from tip to bottom with large berries as big as your tip of your pinkie finger. So I picked about a quart in 20 minutes. Jason was even picking for me. Their family got two gallons.

I also went picking yesterday with Jenna, writing teacher. She knew a good patch also. I got a quart that time.

So I have 6 quarts of blueberries and a gallon of salmon berries. I will go again today.

I can't wait to make blueberry jam, ice cream.
