I have a mental map of where the rosemary bushes are and I love to take a walk with a plastic bag to grab a little and walk back home like rapunzel eating from the forbidden garden
Recently I have started exploring my local woods and parks for herbs and leaves to use for teas and cooking. Today I found Three Cornered Leek and some wild garlic growing right next to it ! I love running around with my little plant identifier app and becoming more and more able to identify all the edible ( and terribly not edible) plants growing around me each day. I pop on my little foraging playlist that makes me feel like a wizard and I skip home with my baggie full of leaves:)
This is the wild garlic I found today
this book is insane it is a cat exploring the musical elements of giant steps by john coltrane in this synesthetic sort of way. such a cool concept and the watercolor illustrations are very soothing/evocative. its so awesome I have this book to this day and have forced multiple partners to read it with me at bedtime
