The St. John’s Wort is in bloom and it’s blooming everywhere on my property, especially in the full sun.

I went out and gathered a quart sized baggie this morning and you can’t tell that I’ve picked any. I’ll be harvesting more over the next several days and should have plenty to play with in my dye pot.

They\'re blooming everywhere

It\'s everywhere...and I\'m picking it!

Later when DH gets home we’re going out mushroom hunting in the woods.  We have a state forest behind us and there are plenty of coyotes, cougars, bear, etc. that I’d prefer not to run into by myself.  If there are two of us talking we’ll scare them off before we see them.  When I walk in the woods without him, I take the dogs with me.  However, I don’t want the dogs around when looking for mushrooms because they will either trample them or try to eat them, neither are good ideas.

Did I tell you I tried to blow the house up and kill my son?  Well that was the other day, everyone and everything is fine.  That was the day I forgot I was making Feta Cheese.  I’ll have to tell you that story when I share my Feta cheese making in a future post.  Stay tuned…
