Last year was a bumper-crop year for huckleberries at the ranch, and this year looks to be another. This means fresh huckleberries on cereal, huckleberry syrup on dessert, huckleberry cobbler, huckleberry ice cream, etc. We'll send out the foragers with empty tin cans to gather the berries, then sit around the table sorting out the stems and duds until there is a beautiful bowl of blue.
Retreat planning is off to a great start, with Kit, Ron, Brian, Patricia, Jorge, Tom, Mike, Bill and Alison Blessing kicking things off. Alison is our guest chef, helping to plan Saturday night's big dinner and Sunday morning's brunch. We've also asked Sue Estey if she will make a return appearance with her magic ice cream maker.
Everyone is welcome to the planning meetings, every Wednesday at noon from now until the retreat. We are eager to know our guest count, so please let us know your plans. Look for the retreat sign up sheet, via email this year, that asks about food allergies and other predelictions.
Time to place your tee shirt order! Please complete the order form, also via email, by Wednesday, August 22.
