Well, I've had my first experience with poison ivy! It doesn't so much itch, as is a bit painful and really yucky looking. Luckily it's only a small patch on my ankle. It's kind of hard to avoid the plant around here. It's everywhere, and doesn't stand out as much as p. oak does in the west. Oh well! Here's a portrait of the offender.
That was last weekend. This weekend the plants were friendlier. There's a large farm nearby that hosts pick your own things throughout the growing season. We're in the midst of strawberries! So we harvested our own flat (10lbs.). "One for the box, one for me. One for the box, one for me." Time to get baking! Coming up there's peach season, apple season, blueberry/blackberry season, pear season . . .
It's kind of interesting to me, this idea of eating "in season." I come from a place where most things are in season all the time.
