Cranberry Time

We packed up the new Honda and headed out the road to harvest cranberries...

Heading into the muskeg to find the elusive berry.
Sometimes the patch is so sparse you lean over for a quick pick...

  Sometimes you have to kneel in the soft, spongy muskeg to pick a large patch...

 Sometimes you have to tromp around to find patches...

After picking for awhile, it was lunchtime and we had a tailgate picnic. Then the rain blew in from the south and we donned rain gear and picked some more. Finally, the skies were so dark it was difficult to see the tiny berries so we packed up and drove home. We picked 12 cups between the three of us...
Wally cleaned them and we're looking forward to sauce at Thanksgiving and Christmas!

 Before leaving I snapped a photo of the devil's club in the back yard...

 and the Curly Bark Maple in the front yard.
