moxie_manIt's that time of year where I get to channel my inner squirrel and go foraging. Alas, between weather and work, the usually places I go were mostly gone by. This past Saturday in the rain would have been perfect except for the rain. It took me two hours of one here, two there to pick three-quarters of a bucket of fiddleheads (ostrich ferns before they unfurl).
Commercial foragers are getting $7 a pound for them clean this year. I can't imagine what they'll go for in retail, probably $10 here.
Alas, my knees and back are telling me I won't be able to do this much longer.
Ticks: I brushed seven off my pants. They were already dead or close to it. Permethrin coated clothing for the win!
