And it was while I was out back of the house picking blueberries with the kids. I thought I hope it didn't fall on the house.

Nope, well inside "the forest"

I thought this was some kind of zen koan at first...

I picked so many blueberries when I was young. I liked to sit & pick. My worst memory is the snake (not sure who was more surprised?!!

almost reminds me of the time that I found the hornet's nest near my parent's garden...

*sigh* I wish I lived that close to a forest!

AmberCadabra - here in New Brunswick it's 95% forest. I'll see if I can pack you up a bit and send it to Chicago

that would be FAB, thanks. Someday i'll live somewhere like that.

the forest package will also be authentic (full of deer flies and skeeters too)
