Renee and I spent the day picking huckleberries. I went last year with Renee and Ronda and I told them "been there, done that". This year was much more enjoyable. The berries are plentiful, the spot we picked was flat and we didn't have too much trouble finding shade to keep us cool. It was a very enjoyable day.
I picked just over a gallon of berries, much better than the crop I picked last year. I think I have this whole berry pickin' thing figured out. Don't go on Renee's first day - instead wait until the second day. She's a little bit tired and it's a lot easier when trying to keep up with her. She still out picked me, but that was a given before we even started. I'm proud of my silver medal finish.
I did manage to get distracted towards the end of our adventure. Found these cute little strawberries and I mean little tiny!
Yes, that's Renee peeking out from behind a tree. She just kept a pickin'. It was so hard to leave because there were so many berries still around us. We just couldn't pick them all.
Here's about half of my picked crop. I don't know what I'm going to do with my 16 cups of berries, but I'm looking forward to at least one huckleberry cobbler!

huckleberry margaritas are yummy too!
I can't think of anything more enjoyable than spending a day with "me", picking berries in the mountains. Wait till you go blackberry picking with me. Man, I get some dandy scratches on my legs..guess I should not wear shorts, but it is HOT and I hate pants. End of story.
