<p class=3D"MsoNormal">Very interesting, Donna, thanks, but a bit puzzl=
ing to this naturalist.  In the Wolfville area, high-bush cranberries =
often last for most or all of the winter, providing some nice colour agains=
t the snowy landscape.  My impression has been that they are somehow l=
ess palatable than the other wild fruits like mountain-ash or hawthorns or =
others.  Thus I am wondering if, in Donna=E2=80=99s area, either Bridg=
etown or near Keji=E2=80=99 Park, some of the wild fruits are already deple=
ted?</p>=20
