Today we took drive up a long dirt road in Sumner
to a beautiful farm. It is a working farm with goats, a donkey,angora rabbits and three beautiful collie dogs plus another one I didn't recognize.
There were flowers and vegetables growing everywhere, but the highlight of the trip was a walk into an acre of elderberries. Some were blooming, some almost ripe an some still green.
The view from the farm was breathtaking with mountains all around. A retired orthopedic surgeon and her contractor partner do all the work around the farm and John has built the house himself.
It has sunporches, rap around verandas and windows everywhere.
It was a warm and happy place. You never know what you may find in the Maine backwoods.

I did a search to see if perhaps it was online but didn't come up with anything. I'd love to see those collies! Not many people have them these days - border collies, but not collies. We had one for seven years and loved him to pieces.

Just catching up with my blog reading. I've read of Elderberry wine, but have never tasted it. Perhaps you should return and ferment a batch.
