I used to love to blog. I really did. I would grab a random topic from my life, and choose my pics carefully to accompany. The writing tied together loosely, as thoughts flowed freely–it felt like a river running from my mind, to my keyboard, only to drain into the gulf of my screen. Seeing…
Work Force Re-Entry Is Fun Like a Migraine
Rearranging furniture, new hair color, another tattoo, an interesting conversation with a new person who changes my thoughts a bit, a better lens, new (thrifted, of course) clothes that have me donating the older clothes that I don’t love anymore…ya know y’all, those are some of changes I love. (Oh. An increase in my typically…
Dandelion Shortbread Cookies
Since the Dandelions are still poppin’ out there–now is the time to scoop some up to cook with, bake with, and/or create with. In the past, I’ve used Dandelion for salves, teas, lip balm, and syrup. In my foraging groups right now–people are deep frying the heads!? I am curious–but, more curious about the eating,…
Ramp Butter
If you caught my previous blog, you probably saw that I’ve been busy in the woods searching for all kinds of fun things. 🙂 (It’s here, if you missed it.) My favorite find this year (with the help of my mom), is Ramps (aka: Wild Leeks). I hadn’t had them before, but now that I…
Spring Foraging
For the past few years, I’ve been learning about foraging. I think it was 2018 when I got really comfortable working with dandelions–I made salves, syrup, lip balm and cookies. (They seemed to be a nice gateway. 🙂 ) I had been reading online articles, and watching some Youtubers–but, not much else. 2020 really kicked…
Communication
I am having so many issues writing from a place of happiness lately. Not that I believe you should only write from a place of happiness–but, I do think that for things like this blog (and emails to my boss), I should be a BIT more capable of doing that? Maybe?? I had been sad…
A Couple New Shots
Last blog, I promised I’d be back with a few new images–to prove to both you, and myself, that I’m actually capable of shooting some new stuff. 😉 I didn’t get out shooting that weekend like I had hoped though–but, that was okay. Other things needed to get done, and they simply became a priority….
Exhibit Update
Hello! A couple weeks ago I wrote about submitting some art to an upcoming, Spring, gallery exhibit at Rum River Art. (The link to that blog is HERE. ) Today, I’m just stopping by the blog to show off the piece that was accepted. 🙂 Also, I’ve actually pulled my camera out to start shooting…
I Want you to Know
This week’s theme? ‘I Want You To Know…’ When I had this idea–I had one, very specific, person in mind. As I shot, I had about three people in my mind. When I posted, I had five people in mind. Then I realized, if I have five-ish people in my life who bore me, maybe…
