We're turning them into a lemony chicken, potato, and nettle soup. Not done yet, but it smells heavenly! I have lots leftover so tomorrow maybe I'll make my favorite nettle cake www.kwiaht.org/documents/Le...

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement.

The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.

It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

New Study Busts Myths About Feared Recluse Spiders A new study shows brown recluse spiders and relatives are in fact scarce, reluctant to bite, and mostly unlikely to cause the severe harm often attributed to them.

I am going to pick my first nettles of the year and cook them into something delicious.

A baby roughskin newt sits in my hand, before being moved off the road into the forest. The newt is about 8cm long, burgundy on top and bright orange beneath, but so small its toes are translucent. The top half of its eye gleams gold like a dragon. This is a photo from several autumns ago.

A newt for those that need one.

At least we have nettles to eat. I will rejoice in the small things and the seasons.

And WSU has a new professor of indigenous horticulture and we were able to invite him up for a session on Coast Salish agriculture and restoration (and feed him camas).

Thank you! So glad to see new camas.

Went to the San Juan Islands Agricultural Summit and now I am more excited about buckwheat than usual.
