I decided to take a break from w**ding. I’ve been at it for 5 hours with drink breaks and a protein bar to keep me going, determined to get as much of it done as possible while it is cool and breezy. But I realized how crabby I was, so decided it’s time for iced tea sweetened with elderflower syrup, swimming, and mellowing out to yacht rock. 🛥️🤿🧋🤭

Two “wildflower” bouquets to be placed on a headstone. We did small memorial wildflower bouquets to be placed on the grave a year ago, and they asked for something for the anniversary.

Lesson learned, don’t burn holes in the heavy duty fabric, cut X’s instead. Also, if dirty washes onto the top of the w**d stuff, it can grow w**ds and the roots get right on through. And, crab grass will always find a way, through the holes from the pins used to hold everything down to seams overlapping by over a foot. 😭😭😭

I had to start pulling because the w**ds were overtaking the baby stuff: clove current shrubs, paw paws trees, persimmon trees and false indigo/baptisa.

I’ve never had this happen before. Momma hen does not want this baby chick. She keeps pecking at it. 😕 It doesn’t seem unhealthy, though now it has injuries from the pecking.

And it won’t stop chirping unless I stuff it in my cleavage. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Do I pull one of the other babies and put them together in a brooder?

You may not even be noticing the abundance of wild food growing all around us—but after hearing from Rachael West, you won't be able to miss it. 🍄‍🟫

West is an author, forager, educator, and community food advocate based in the Ozarks. She is the founder of Eating The Ozarks, a platform dedicated to reconnecting people with local food, wild plants, and seasonal living.

West joined us on the National Mall for the 2023 Smithsonian Folklife Festival, celebrating "The Ozarks: Faces and Facets of a Region." This summer, she is sharing her knowledge again in workshops with the Folklife Marketplace.

Starting at just $15, her workshops explore how to forage responsibly and confidently throughout the year, as well as how to make your every own homemade elderberry syrup. (Did you know that Missouri is the largest producer of elderberries in the United States?)

Sign up for Rachael's programs today, and explore all of the workshops being offered this summer: https://s.si.edu/4vxf3DH
