Foraging

Please forgive another back blip. It seems we are always busy. I have always loved rambling in the woods but have fallen out of the habit the last 2 and a half years. The kiddos and Matt were my partners in this and it’s not as much fun alone. Now, at least three precious women have been brought into my life who love the woods! They all love plants. 2 focus on wild edibles and medicinals, like A, here. The other one loves the native plants and loves to incorporate plants and dried materials into her holiday decorations. I have always been passionate about this. The guys always laughed about “weeds” in the house. These ladies have rekindled the spark in me and I love it! Here, A was gathering plantain weed to make salve. I did this years ago. I’m learning so much from them. It’s funny because none of them know each other yet. They’ve all come to me on different paths but I see new friendships in the future. Exciting!
