Nettle Nonsense

It is the simple pleasures in life, the tiny wild flower yearning towards the sun, the first bursts of color as the trees stretch forward. I encourage you to take 5-10 minutes or more outside. As my 2nd grade teacher told me "take a moment to be still, hear everything, breath" So true, outside I can hear the grass rise, the trees beginning to whisper in the breeze, the hum of bees so busy. Truely amazing. ❤ lovin life!

Rosehips! They are everywhere, have you seen them? Even driving around town its easy to spot the attention grabbing red berry looking things. I only harvest after the first frost so there is a while to wait, but fun to see. These little beauties are fabulous sources of Vit. C.

Camping adventures. We did not do a whole lot but we did a lot of watching the wildlife, listened to the birds, talked to the squirels and dodged pinecones they threw down. We prefer to hammock camping rather than tent for a number of reasons: really fast set up, take down, minimal footprint, and no need to worry about a flat space. :)
