    Good thing about all that rain...

    ... is that I found a huge bucket load of white morels just by walking from my car to door!
    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

    Woo!

    The only thing I've foraged for so far this year is birch sap.
    Spring is slow in the north.


    Mostly art.

      Do you make syrup or birch beer?

      I've got a lot of maples. Someday, I may tap some of them.

        Birch syrup. I've never made birch beer before, but tapping for syrup is so much work that I wouldn't want to tap more trees.

        Two weeks of a few gallons of sap a day, and we got just under a litre of syrup to show for it. Birch is crazy.

            Are you a lady without morels (or morals, or whatever pun)?

            I've never had borch syrup. I think I've read that it's kinnda wintergreen-ish.?

            Actually, I've never had birch beer, either.

            Is it the regular paperbark birch?
