It was raining in the morning and we thought we would be stuck inside but it stopped and we decided to go back to the secret spot to get those elderberries. The man and kids fished while I went for a walk. Came upon this and wondered what happened to make this live branch fall.
Went down to check it out and saw that lightning hit the tree and cracked it right down the trunk. It must have made a heck of a noise.
It had rained earlier in the morning so we thought that maybe instead of just fishing we would be catching. Well we did...
Not much meat on those bones! We did end up catching four nice size ones to bring home.
Yes I know there are only three in the picture it was taken before we caught the last one. By the time we walked out of the woods it was 4:15 and we were all starved. We got home and cooked up two of those fish and gave the others to the neighbor.
We spent the night watching tv, knitting and getting all those berries of their stems. The perfect end to a really good day.
Got up this morning and extracted the juice from the elderberries. I should be making the jelly now but we have a soccer game to go to so it will have to wait until tomorrow. Right now I am going to learn how to do short row wraps or that baby sweater will never get done.
