New blueberries coming up


About six weeks ago, a fire went through some land that has belonged to my
family for almost a hundred years. Recently, though, we had not been paying
attention in one corner of the property and some young people secretly
built a party shack, with a second-storey open deck. They were regularly
going there to drink and have fires. They'd established a trail through the
woods that indicates a lot of foot traffic. One of their fires caught the
woods afire in a stiff wind, quickly burning past our property's border,
along a thousand-foot streak downwind, literally to some home-owners'
doorsteps. Luckily, no one was hurt and no houses were lost.
Walking through the ashes, it's not hard to see some of the kids' broken
and discarded bottles. But I've also been admiring how quickly Nature gets
going again. Here are some blueberry shoots coming up through one of the
broken bottles.
