Me too, one of my great joys of spending the summer in the mountains here in NC.

Me too. I love wandering the woods and old pastures. It always brings me great joy. I do have to watch out for what I choose and pick as I live near the Cherokee National forest and state parks. I have to just look. ❤️

Isn't it just the best? Yes, good for you about not foraging in areas that should be left alone. Ditches of back country roads are one of my favorite places to forage, if other areas are in question, and I always make a point to forage sparingly (in the overall picture), in a way that nobody could tell that I took anything.

I just noticed yesterday some flowers blooming in the pasture across our fence. I have to go get a closer look. I mostly stay out of that pasture in June and most of July because does have their fawns there, hidden in the tall grass, and I don’t want to disturb them. These flowers aren’t too far from the fence, though, and the fawns are bigger now.

It would bring me great joy to ride with you to the flower market! I wouldn’t mind a bit to find petals or leaves in the seat.😊

I'm loving the wild Chicory blooms on my table. They're so cheerful looking.

Oh, chickory is so pretty! The color reminds me of flax blossoms, which I'm determined to gather next year when they're in bloom
