Beautifully illustrated with your photos.<br /><br />As someone who spent time picking wild blueberries in the UP, I've never heard of nor seen a blueberry picker. I'll look it up. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this.Margaret Coombshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01072010567701659256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17507965.post-24217554488995731332011-07-12T16:21:37.648-05:002011-07-12T16:21:37.648-05:00Dear Jessica,

Your story brought me tears and tears, but also happy reflection on my own family and the losses we've endured--the sweet waxing & waning of life and death.<br /><br />The bit about your teachers made me so proud of you--of the path you've chosen, of the way you let books fill you up to the tip top, and still do--writing, reading, sharing & encouraging the same for students, friends, and connoisseur's like me.<br /><br />Your words are such a tribute to your roots--all of them.<br /><br />Much love & a hug from across the lake!<br />-jrjenn ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10459804215282659291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17507965.post-14202373647589324302011-07-12T15:09:48.192-05:002011-07-12T15:09:48.192-05:00so sweet and poignant; thank you for inviting us i...so sweet and poignant; thank you for inviting us into your homes.Nancy/n.o.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870024363382414106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17507965.post-65616312571569067922011-07-12T13:57:07.612-05:002011-07-12T13:57:07.612-05:00This is a gorgeous meditation.

I started to cry as I imagined the blueberries tossed into your grandfather's grave. <br /><br />When my (dear, dear) grandfather died last summer my mourning also involved ice cream, sitting by the water, and remembering his effort in a long-ago war. <br /><br />You layered all of this so beautifully.reddamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203637723305153017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17507965.post-82609776561622635972011-07-12T12:17:19.086-05:002011-07-12T12:17:19.086-05:00I love it :)I love it :)heather schneidernoreply@blogger.com
