Well, it’s November, Halloween is over and the Phillies have been scary, so whatch gonna do? It rained all week but now its bright and sunny. Maybe this game will turn around too.

We were on location last week in cranberry bogs in NJ and it was just after the yearly harvest.

To harvest the cranberries the bogs are flooded and the cranberries knocked off the plants. As they float in the water they are gathered up and then the water is drained. All around the edge of the bog were missed cranberries, lying on the ground like jewels. They just had to be this month’s header image. (View older header images.)

Here’s to cranberries, some of which we’ll eat this Thanksgiving. And here’s to the ones that got away.
