the nuts of the beech (Fagus grandifolia) are edible
While foraging for materials to build the pole lathe and develop a Mildred’s Lane product, my attention shifted continually from the trees overhead to the ground underfoot. Here is a sampling of some sightings during the course of a morning hike around the property, near the banks of the Delaware River in Northeastern Pennsylvania:
blueberries are ripening in the duff under stands of recently cut white oak
the Horn of Plenty are an edible but elusive mushroom
The Eft appeared in legions after a rain
A Ruffed Grouse
Toads are camouflaged underfoot
A porcupine in a tree!
The catalpa is in bloom
A lovely moth
Athena’s foragings
