The excitement of arriving at the Little Cabin in the Big Woods in late spring... the joy of greeting old friends-people, birds, and forest animals... listening to bird calls to tell the time of day and spotting different flowers to mark the progress of the seasons... visits to favorite out-of-the-way spots... the first harvest of blueberries and the aroma of the first batch of fresh out of the oven muffins. Wild Blueberry Summer celebrates these memories and moments. Every summer is both wonderfully new and comfortingly familiar. The prose poems in this collection paint word pictures of treasured experiences from the gentle awakening of ever-returning spring to the first signs of winter's deep sleep.
"Wild Blueberry Summer is a celebration of memories, family, and place, where the fortunate who spend summers at the amazing Little Cabin in the Big Woods mark the passing weeks not by a calendar on a wall, but by the wildflowers currently in bloom and by the songs of the birds who claim territory in the woods or on the lake." - Sue Harrison, national bestselling author of The Midwife's Touch
"To feel what the Stotts feel, to inhale the fresh air they breathe at their summer home, to swim with them in the cold, clear lake, to watch stars spread a canopy above them when darkness pushes the day away is to immerse yourself in Wild Blueberry Summer." - Sharon M. Kennedy, author of The SideRoad Kids Series
"You will enjoy the gentle, self-effacing humor and the crystal-clear language of this memoir. Its philosophy reminds me of Walden, but the writing is far more to my liking. If you want to learn how to become in tune with nature, Jon Stott is your guide." - Bob Rich, author of From Depression to Contentment
