Starting the harvest of field retted nettle for cloth fiber. Grabbed some plantain, dandelion greens, cleavers and baby nettle for dinner additions. Also hazel cutting for propagation and a volunteer Mahonia root for medicine I suppose. #foraging #fiberarts #pnw

Sometimes you need a good apple crisp. Trying to be responsible this version is just apples, oats, a little almond flour in crisp layer for binding, spices, unsweetened applesauce to bind both layers. Apples have sugar but natural, no fats, dash salt. Yummy and healthy enough to make excuses for πŸ˜‹

Eight lumps of green-coloured metal alongside illustrations of them from three angles.

Eight lumps of green-coloured metal alongside illustrations of them from three angles.

Chemical and isotope analysis of copper-based metal objects from Bronze Age MΓΆriken-Wildegg, Switzerland finds some of the copper may have been sourced from Cyprus, suggesting an influx of Cypriot copper into Central Europe around 1400 BC.

This little frog friend and buddies are why I tend and restore creek habitats! Success! Water dirty from upstream work I just finished. It is part of a drainage system if streamlets and swales and such to help after blackberries and canary grass for years. Ways to go but yay! #pnw #habitat #frogs
