It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Most trails lead to the Bay in Port Ludlow. My family and I foraged for rose hips and spotted some Black Turnstones most recently. 

In no particular order: Native (Rubus ursinus), Himalayan, and Sawtooth Evergreen blackberries; a frog friend; apples; and rose hips. The invasive blackberries were huge this year--we froze many gallons to use this winter. Among Leah, Rebecca, and myself we shared cookies, cakes, jam, apples, cucumbers, squash, and more.  Although technically not foraged, I also experimented with a Shiitake mushroom block from the Chimacum farmer's market. 

Unidentified birds who hung out on the ledge outside Aidan and Rebecca's offices. This was about the time we moved in and I had started working in person.
