  under gate ... 20:00      104°  (2:35)   Sunny, a few clouds and a very light breeze.  Not holding my breath for rain.

Hi you two and any lurkers.  I hope all is well with you.

There's nothing much going on around here at the moment. 
Joho -  I'm glad to hear that your neighbor is doing alright and can leave the hospital soon.  I hope that is the end of the bike for her, as it could have been the end of her.  Maybe her balance and core strength are not up to it.

I just bought a walker.  I have been using a cane, but am not steady with that for walking outside the house, with uneven surfaces.

Blueberries or Wild Sarsaparilla? - UPDATE July 17, 2022

Blueberries
Blueberries are sensational this year—big and abundant. But now is when bears around here switch to wild sarsaparilla berries, a favorite they will prefer for 3-4 weeks until they wane. Then it is back to blueberries that have a longer season of availability. Wild cherries can also distract bears from blueberries. A bigger distraction would be hazelnuts, but I haven’t seen many of them this year, which I don’t understand.

Wild sarsaparilla
Wild sarsaparilla - by Thon
Wild sarsaparilla - 1970
Wild sarsaparilla
The blueberry pictured is lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium), the common upland blueberry around here. I included two pictures of wild sarsaparilla (Aralia nudicaulis)—one taken by Judy Thon today to show the ripe berries, and the other taken 52 years ago to show the plant form. One nice thing about these berries is that they grow in bunches, usually 3 bunches per plant, making them efficient to eat.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to travel to Iran on Tuesday to shore up support in meetings with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Turkeish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan

In Russia, losing a son to the war can get you a new car
Russian state TV ran a report on the unexpected benefits of having your son killed in Ukraine, says Francis Scarr, who translates Russian TV for BBC Monitoring. Scarr posted video of the report on Twitter, showing a family with the new, Russian-made Lada car they apparently bought with "coffin money" paid by the state to the families of war victims. The father of the fallen soldier, identified as Alexei, says his son always wanted a white car

  Humpback  34:19      102°  (3:02)   Lots of clouds today, but no promises of rain.

Hi you two, and anyone else who comes by.  I hope all is well.

Yes Cal, I am much more steady and confident with the walker, it's easier to stand up straight.  I have more confidence walking outside with it.  Those knee walkers are neat.  Until I was looking at walkers, I didn't realize they existed.  My daughter pointed out how they would save your shoulders from using crutches, which can be painful.  When I use to go to the stores, I used a shopping cart for a walker.  I'd be walking along, big old cart, two items in it ... lol! 

All that stuff about Putin is just crazy and gross... and sickening.  They are starting a Boy's Club.

Judy McClure, Carolyn and Cubs, A Wolf Memory, and Hazelnuts - UPDATE July 18, 2022

Carolyn and cub
We got a call that 5-year-old Carolyn and her cubs were seen, and we all piled into the big van to get there in time. They were mostly obscured in the woods, but Carolyn came into good view for a couple minutes to show her beautiful face before leading the cubs off to whatever berry patch she might have had in mind.

Carolyn   Carolyn
Last evening I said I hadn’t seen many hazelnuts in this otherwise good food year and didn’t understand why. Explanations flowed. I had been looking for them along a driveway where squirrels were eating them, and I was glad to hear that hazelnuts abound this year, and someone sent me a picture to give that statement credibility, making the world right.Hazelnuts

In the comments under last night’s update, Julie Ann Nevill mentioned seeing a trail cam video of wolves eating blueberries in Voyageur National Park https://youtu.be/XpNlItgY_Ok. That reminded me of a nice moment parked on a narrow forest road near Ely years ago when a pack of wolves materialized near my vehicle and took their time feeding on raspberries as they drifted by. I’ve seen many wolf scats that contained berries but that was the only time I got to see them eating them. The Voyageur trail cam video that was set up overlooking a super blueberry patch is a great example of what is possible with trail cams these days.On a sad note, we will miss Judy McClure in many ways. She passed away this morning after a long battle with cancer. This extraordinary woman put her heart and talents into making the Bear Center exhibits all they could be, and, as someone said, her efforts will educate, inspire, and entertain visitors for years to come.

In Memory of Judy McClure

Thank you, Judy, and thank you all for all you do.

Hi Neva! i use a cart when i have just one thing too which is not often but when i went to get my new glasses i used it just for my purse so i could get inside the store and around.  i could not use crutches my foot doctor saw that real quick i never could use them not strong enough.  really like my knee scooter for in the house. i need to buy a basket for my walker. my mom use to have one.  now you can move around more with your walker go outside feeling better. they are not that expensive either. knee scooter is not either.

Hi joho! did you go see your cousin? i forgot if you did.

7:33 ICE Hot here.  Had nice left over lunch with Deb and Boss.  Brought home lots of rice and fried chicken.  Plus a dish of pork for dinner tonight.  Mary's 29th birthday cookout is at her house on Sat.  Debbie's next door neighbor has covid.
Yes I did see cousin last Thursday.  Had a nice long day with Ken.  We were lost most of the time, but did get to see the longest covered bridge in the USA and a lot of other stuff.  Not all on purpose, but all interesting. LOL 
Found his mom's and his brother's graves.  This was my goal, and we did it.  With some help from Joan's Tom Tom which I gave to Ken a while ago.  He needs it.
