Seriously, it's been a while since I've been wildcrafting because I've been so under the weather. But I was actually feeling pretty good today, so I took myself off to the lake this morning and went out hunting for stinging nettle. I love that plant. Not only does it taste delicious, but it is a super food, densely packed with nutrition.
Anyway, my timing couldn't have been better because, although, I harvested the plant to make tea for me, my husband ended up getting really sick today, so I had some nice nutritious tea ready for him when he came home from work.
Okay, so he didn't like the taste of the tea... but he's not really a tea drinker and he's kind of picky. He drank it though and only told me "This better cure me". LOL
We also had a visit from Baby Valerie today. She's always very emotionally unsettled after she's visited her birth mother and is very clingy to her grandmother so she had a VERY hard time transitioning into our care for the afternoon. But after quite a few hours and a nice nap, she did eventually relax and play and smile and laugh, so it was all good in the end.
