March 8 Foraging with Ed

nettle &
Caterpillar

Lots of rain but it stopped for a day and a half and we rode the bikes up Euchre Creek and picked nettles.

We cut some snags on the property, walked on the beach and  visited a neighbor who gave us a couple of truffles.
We stopped at Euchre creek's marshy floodplain and cow pasture to listen to the deafening chorus of frogs, incredulous that we could not find the hidden singers.
Breakfast today was the last piece of 2010 Chinook, freshly gathered eggs with sliced truffles and "Killer Dave's" bread. Reading Moe's Greenhorn zine and laughing while the salmon-seine fence undulates in the wind and rain, and the soggy chickens take refuge in their coop.
