Is it too early to be dreaming of Spring yet? The Solstice was a whole week ago, the days are 7 minutes longer already! I feel full of energy and I am antsy to be DOING...something. Okay, what I want to be doing is taking a road trip, heading out to see something new. My brain thrums for new images, my shutter finger is twitchy, my shoulders feel tense with the effort of not slipping on a day pack and walking off into the woods. My camera is practically sighing, I feel it...judging me. hahaha! Okay, no, I don't. I have no kinship with the camera, it's the photo I hear calling me, if I could draw, I would.
I will leave off to go get me dressed, I have added some reminders of Spring, Mountain Laurel, bloodroot, daffodil, dogwood and fiddlehead ferns. You can use bloodroot and dogwood medicinally, fiddlehead taste like asparagus. Mountain Laurel and daffodils are poisonous.
I am currently trying to drink grass jelly drink, I have nearly used up all the liquidy parts and am down to the clumps of jelly. Made from grass. Matt loves a drink that embodies colloidal suspension, but I don't like to chew my drinks. It's green, though. Surely that has some level of...nutritionish...
