Winter Foraging

When it is cold and snowy, I never feel much like going to the grocery store, but I was in need of something not processed.  I had cans and even homemade tomato soup (see recipe here).  But I needed something green!  Time to take a walk around the property.

It is December 7th, but that doesn't mean foraging is over.  Some of God's most nutritious plants are also the most hardy. No more wild lettuce, but amazingly the narrow leaf plantain, dandelion and even sorrel are doing just fine.  All of the plants were smaller and interestingly much less bitter, especially the dandelion.

Albeit, we haven't had a long prolonged deep freeze, but we have had a good couple snowfalls that stayed around for awhile.  When the snow melted, it gave way to a beautiful bounty of green.  So I bundled up, and took a walk.  It was both healing for the body and soul.

God is Great, God is Good, Let us Thank Him for our Food.
