noticed some maple seed pods and pineappleweed when going for a walk so i might go back for them after school. (it’s my last day!!!) i also found some ground ivy and took it to replenish my supply, because the stuff i was drying mysteriously went missing, and I bet a certain feline that enjoys greens has something to do with it

[Smiling through gritted teeth after finding a tick on myself] I love all of nature’s creatures. I love ALL of nature’s creatures.

Does anyone have any recourses on foraging as self sufficiency? Like not just foraging a few mushrooms for fun, but actually sustaining yourself off of what you find?

Big plans today (not really ‘big’ in the common sense, but for me it is.) Because on the way to my grandma’s I spotted a nice looking flush of oyster mushrooms out of the car window, so HOPEFULLY i can go back for them. Also there’s a bunch of common mallow, chickweed, and more lamb’s quarters outside my school so I’ll probably procure those as soon as possible.

pineappleweed is starting to grow, i might pick some for tea if i find a patch a ways away from the roadside

Doing small good deeds makes me happy. On Saturday, i was at an outdoor event, and i noticed a kid having trouble washing his hands (It was an outdoor sink, you had to use a well pump if you wanted water) so I helped him, and on Wednesday, strong winds blew a bunch of the recycling bins in our neighborhood down, so my mom and I helped pick up!
