There's so much to learn!

Today I drew. I was going to upload my drawing, but then I forgot my camera chord when I went to the cafe. I drew my favorite flower that is growing in my garden. Then I squished it in my book so I could keep it forever. Then I noticed a really oniony scent coming from it. Then I wondered if it was edible. Then I took some of it and tasted it. Then I realized it was a chive flower. IMAGINE THAT! My favorite flower in the garden is an edible chive flower! THINGS JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER HERE!!!!!

Foraging

I foraged for the first time last weekend. I foraged for stinging nettles in the forest next to my house, with gloves on, and then made stinging nettle linguini. It was delicious, hearty, and most of all fresh. I was so excited and happy to do this!

I also have two new neighbors that I see daily. One is a beautiful bright pink and green hummingbird, who I call hummy. I hear him every morning, look out my window and see him flying around and hanging out on all the trees. He is really talkative, and likes to drink the nectar from some of the flowers in my garden. He's a funny one and really has his own personality. My other neighbors are a family of Eagles. I see them daily but less often. Maybe only once a day. They get really close to my porch and I just sit still when they fly so close to me because I don't want them to go away. They are ENORMOUS and so awesome!

I love my new home!
