Blueberries & Unbeatable Weather

When the weather is nice this city is unbeatable. Today happened to be such a day - clear skies, sunshine, 55 degrees. I spent the morning riding my bike, buying a bunch of blueberries, then eating them beside the creek at Cowen Park. The perfect weather & sweetness of the berries inspired this haikuish poem. Enjoy.

Bluberries rolled
between thumb & forefinger
soften before splitting.

They can’t beat the wild blueberries you used to help us pick while camping in Canada. What backbreaking work, bending down to the forest floor and picking those tiny wild berries and wondering if there was a bear just beyond the hill, headed for his favorite blueberry patch. It was well worth the work when we sat down to blueberry cobbler fresh from the oven with a scoop of homemade ice cream!!

I wish I remembered those blueberries - I think I was a bit too young for them to make a strong impression. Most of my memories from Canada involve Big Ben & black bears digging through trash…

I wonder if we’ll have any luck finding blueberries on the upcoming family vacation. Doubtful huh?

I like the haiku! I’ve been working on some to send your way…
