Monday, June 26: Oh happy day! The first huckleberries of the season are ripe enough to pick, and Mr. Karen and I went out and got some.

 
Tuesday, June 27: Went down to town and saw this big puffball near where I parked my car.

 
Wednesday, June 28: Did more huckleberry picking and then went to get the mail in the village, which gave us this view of the bridge reconstruction going on this summer.

 
Thursday, June 29: Didn’t like the overhand knots (bottom) that this jute for macrame came with, so switched them over to the more compact Matthew Walker knot (top). Lots of shedding fibers to deal with with this material, and I don’t love it. But it’s good to try new things.

 
Friday, June 30: Went back into the woods for more huckleberry picking and saw more of these tiny pink flowers.

 
Saturday, July 1: Started the day with huckleberry buckwheat pancakes.

 
Sunday, July 2: Mr. K and I saw lots of western tent caterpillars on our hike. This was one of the biggest; others were much smaller and still emerging from their nests in the crooks of branches.
