probably not as north as your going but was out for a wee stroll with the mutt yesterday and around here, plenty of elderberries, smattering of brambles, some beechnuts (and a pocket of gravybones ;) ) wasn't looking too much as was with in-laws and trying to make sure an ever-increasing-pregnant wife wasn't struggling on.
