When your Dad rides a Harley to work, and he has to drop you off at school for the first day of 2nd grade, you get to arrive as a 7 yo easy rider.

Hence the hi-viz top. Because nothing is more dangerous than the school drop off zone.

Personal stash of a 5th generation winemaker in France. They opened numerous bottles for us, including a magnificent 1983.

Our host, the wine maker, apparently has a very impressive collection of weapons. Here's yours truly with a perfect Civil War Spencer repeating rifle.

 

[corkybstewart]

And the missus with another of his collection, but I don't remember what he said it was. Fair to say I'd been drinking a little by this point.

They are in their late 60's so pounding a dozen bottles a day is probably not their style. Anymore.

Photo taken yesterday of the old barn at the family homestead where my grandfather grew up. The property has been in the the family over 100 years. Have gone to many family reunions there through the years, including yesterday.

Joni is gifted, but according to David Crosby a tough chick to have for an old lady.

"Imagine if you wrote a song, a really good song, and you sang it to her when she came home. And then she sang you three better songs that she wrote last night."

to be fair, Crosby had better drugs & much more of them

Todays harvest

It’s huckleberry season here in Montana (in the mountainous, western part of the state). Huckleberries are very close cousins to lingonberries. In the tourist towns around Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks there are, literally, dozens of shops selling huckleberry products. Jams, jellies, syrups, bakeries and restaurants offer huckleberry pies, and, of course, the most important part-huckleberry themed merchandise. Huckleberries are quite a cottage industry in those areas.

Do you guys use them as a side for any dishes? We eat meatballs with peas, mashed potatoes, cream gravy and lingonberry jam (homemade, the store bought garbage is way to sweet).

Some of the older Swedish families do. My maternal grandmother’s family were Swedes and they used huckleberries (when they could get them) in recipes that would have used lingonberries. When I was a kid (50-60 years ago) the Lutheran churches had annual fund raising dinners. The congregations were pretty evenly divided between Norwegians and Swedes, so these affairs always featured lutefisk for the Norwegians and meatballs for the Swedes. There was always a dish of jam on the tables but it was whatever was available. This area is a couple hundred miles from the mountains where huckleberries grow wild so products made from those berries aren’t as common.

HEIC is an iOS picture file, likely from your iphone. Lots of applications have trouble with it. iOS doesn't always play well with others.
