Foraging

     I took my first sports trip! It was so amazing. I missed driving the bus so much, but I missed trips especially.

     There is is nothing better than being paid to go discover different areas of the state, and sometimes other states. This particular trip was so exciting because the school we went to had a beautiful walking path, thru the woods, with all sorts of goodies to discover.

Thistle

My fist time ever finding elderberry!

Some nuts. Originally I had thought the middle one might be hazelnut, but after some research I identified them as hickory.

Wild grapes! They were delish.

Stag horn sumac

And poke berry. Not to be confused with elderberry. These are know to give you an upset stomach, particularly if you eat more than a couple.
