We went huckleberry picking a couple days ago at a top secret,undisclosed place in our area. I was amazed at how many berries we found! It's only the middle of July, and all of the little bushes are completely loaded up. We (well, the kids and I- Derrick is going to be riding motos with friends) are going to go picking again tonight with Shannon.
It was so unbelievably beautiful in that forrest. I had never been there before, but now I know where some more great hiking trails are. The whole time we were up there we heard distant thunder rumbling. Shannon, who has been up there a lot, said it is pretty common to hear thunder there this time of year. In this case, however, a huge storm system was coming through the area, and toward the end of our time there we started to get rained on and the wind began to make the trees begin to sway all around us. We high tailed it out of there, with imaginings of trees snapping around our heads.
In town, some trees did get blown over. The storm had mostly passed by the time we reached town again, but the sky was so amazing- deep pink, with lit up clouds. This really has been a beautiful summer.
