There's a good chance of it. While researching my pedigree, I found the last names, of a high proportion of the people I have met in my life, in my pedigree. I think most of us are distant cousins many times, in many ways.

I have noticed when most of the guys on here, especially from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Texas, post pictures of their kids and grandkids, those kids would fit in perfectly at one of my families' reunions.

I checked about 1/3 of my fence row and wood edges, where the berries grow. It's probably going to be 10 days before there are a lot of berries.

I have had yellow raspberries for about a week.

There are virtually no mulberries or sour cherries this year.

l haven't found a variety of raspberry that does good around here. Old timers told me it gets to hot in this part of the country. Used to murder my grandmothers raspberry patch as a kid when we spent the summer in Minnesota.

Huckleberries are my favorite. They can be found in big numbers here in Pa for a few years after a wild fire out in the State Forest. The Two Rock wildfire in the early 90s burnt thousands of acres in southern Clinton County. In the years following, you could pick a gallon of berries an hour in some of the better patches. My uncle and I each picked over 100 quarts for several years. Low berries would ripen in mid July, high berries in August.

We would slowly dump our berry buckets in front of a high speed fan, to blow away any leaves and debris. Then put them in a big dishpan full of cold water....the small greenish berries would float to the top.
