I have to tell you a funny story about red huckleberries.
You didn’t even know there was a funny story about red huckleberries, did you?
Well, anyway.
Back in the days when I was married, my husband and I went on a trip. We must have been somewhere out in The Woods, because we were on a dirt road in a much-loved F150, and I spotted red berries on a bush and said Stop! I Want Some Of Those Berries!
My husband, being a good and sensible man, said, Are You Sure Those Berries Are Edible?
I said, Yes, of course they are. I remember those berries from my childhood. Dad said they were edible and we ate them and we didn’t die and so, Yes. Of Course They Are.
My husband, being a both good and reasonable man, stopped the much-loved F150, and I debarked and ate several handfuls of the berries.
…
A mile or so down the dirt road, my logic superceded my enthusiasm, and I wasn’t Quite as sure those were the berries of my childhood, and I said, I Think those were the same berries we ate and didn’t die.
I could see him, being a good man, and also an ex- Eagle Scout, making a Plan for how to get me to a hospital without breaking the much-loved F150, and, really, I was being silly (probably) so I said, I’m sure those were the berries of my childhood, and we both pretended to relax while waiting for me not to die.
Anyway.
The point is.
Last week there were no huckleberries.
This week there are huckleberries.
The moral of the story is there are cycles in life.
Or the moral of the story is there are huckleberries in life.
[Both red and blue.]
One of those.
Larch Mountain is as much information as you get because, really, there ain’t enough for both of us.
