Not much social activity the past week. A steady stream of loganberries and currants flowing north and south, weary workers falling into bed at dusk and sleeping like the dead, but beating the lark to it next morning. That’s the sort of week we’ve had down here. If Seattle and Tacoma lack either jam or jelly next winter it won’t be Vashon Island’s fault. The currant picking at the Forrest ranch ended with a bang, literally, Monday afternoon, for the youngsters shot off some of their Fourth of July crackers as they stripped the last bushes and filled the last crates. Seventy-two crates trundled off toward Seattle and one went home with a picker. The last and the biggest of four days’ picking.
