I began reading The Narrow Road to the Deep North a while back but something must have gotten in the way. Your post will have me hunting around the house today, determined to pull it back out. Thank you for a meditative start to this fine Friday. :) Hey Greg,

It was a good trip but I needed something more... hard to describe. It was beautiful up there, three buddies and I spent the whole trip fishing on Saganaga. We did indeed pick the blueberries. We didn't find a super-productive spot so it took us a while to collect enough, but it was still rewarding and made for some delicious pancakes. Thanks for the flower ID! That's pretty funny you just identified it yourself. It's a beautiful tiny flower and I'm glad yours is still living amongst your eggplants. :) Cheers. Hi Deb!

Did you pick wild blueberries for the pancakes? And your small flower- Pale Corydalis, which I only know because I identified it yesterday as a weed growing among my eggplants! I didn't pull it of course. Your photos make me long for the Boundary Waters. Did you pick wild blueberries for the pancakes?
