riding around in this area i get barked at by a lot of dogs. sometimes the dogs are not fenced or tethered and will come out onto the road barking. this is a bit scary, but i've found they stop short of attack, and usually will not chase. i get funny looks from other animals too, like horses and cows, and sometimes startle ones closer to the road as i ride by.
a great pleasure on the way was eating some of the richest thimble berries i've ever had! i came accross on small patch first, and later on took the time to browse a much larger patch along the road. i'd been hoping for a couple years that i would have this pleasure again, and here i was being offered this bounty! i couldn't believe nobody else was interested in eating these! they tasted like sweet tarts!
i brought some to share with the folks at Twin Brooks. i learned last year that if you pick the whole stem with unripe berries on it, and put it in water in a warm spot, the berries will ripen over a few days! wonder if this can be done with other berries?
