Another foggy morn for dog and me, as we headed up to the trailhead. We’ve had so many foggy mornings this summer already that more than once I’ve heard it called “unprecedented.” This morning’s fog happened to happen on the first day of the land trust’s planned-for week-long free blueberry pick—which got canceled on account of it.
However, quite a few birds showed up despite the weather—including a bluebird whose free pick days know no such thing as cancelations.
