Huckleberry Finn

Ah, late summer in Idaho is so pleasant! The weather is finally perfectly warm, and it's sunny almost every day. The days are long, nights are cool, and everything is green. It can't get much better than that.

In August, Tamera, Kareena, Nicole, (sisters-in-law), our friend Melina, and I went huckleberry picking. There were tons this year since we went a little earlier than last year.

The smell of the berries is so sweet. This year I made syrup and huckleberry/blackberry jam. With the leftover pulp from the syrup, I made huckleberry muffins. They came out purple! Huckleberrying is becoming one of my favorite Idaho activities.
