“Every flower in this bouquet is edible”. “We picked them ourselves”. We had just finished our first in-person choir concert since December 2019. These two siblngs joined us only a few months ago, so it was their first concert ever. They were so excited to sing for their parents and all the other families, and just as excited to present me this lovely edible bouquet.
The bouquet brought back so many memories from when I was a teen. My dream in life was to live in a small log cabin in the woods, and be self-sufficient, living off the wild. I prepared by making edible (mostly) foods and drinks from plants around the yard, such as moss soup and dandelion tea. I read books on nature and how to survive. One of my favourites was “The Edible Wild”.
Life did not turn out that way for me. That’s probably a good thing, but maybe in some way I am still hoping for that dream.

Oh, me too! A cabin in the woods with a creek flowing close by.
