Only three families, this week, but we went foraging in the meadow and surrounding woods & marsh for wild food. On the menu this week were licorice fern root, salmonberry shoots and petals, dandelion blossoms and young leaves, new cedar and fir needles for tea... We looked for maple blossoms, but none were low enough to reach. Then we got distracted with holding some baby and adult snakes.
Wild food is rather behind, with all the chilly weather, this year. We'll try again in a couple of weeks and see what else we can gather.
...and we went home with flowers in our hair...
