Elderberries Ripening

This is an elderberry bush down the way from us.   It's in a waste area near the road and I'll be able to harvest those berries when they're ripe and make Elderberry Jelly, which is my all time favorite jelly EVER.   

Watching berries ripen is like watching paint dry.   Only slower.  Or water boil.   Only a LOT slower.

It's nearer to watching grass grow.   Except our berries ripen even slower than the grass grows out here.
