Foraging Ramblers

The other day, I got to spend the late morning-early afternoon hours with a couple wonderful friends.  We were off on a ramble--I love that British term for backwoods walkers--in search of the elusive morel mushroom.  Alas, we had no luck finding any morels, or mushrooms of any kind for that matter.  It was a lovely, lovely day for a walk through the fields and woods and such, giant bear ticks notwithstanding.

The lovely ladies--great company, and full of foraging knowledge!

It's a hilly climb, but the view in spring is amazing.

We have plans to revisit these secret apple orchards come fall.

So many beautiful apple blossoms,  but no bees--it was too chilly for them.



It seemed like all the spring ephemeral were out, like this trillium.

We found a couple Jack in the Pulpits, too.

So many blossoms!  I hope they yield oodles of fruit come fall.
