foraging

muscadine

we're not yet at the point where we have to forage for nuts and berries in order for us to eat. things have not gotten that bad yet. however, i have realized that we have muscadines growing in our back yard! so i went out there the other day to pick the first batch. i am so excited! there were still a lot of unripe grapes so i'll go back out again in another week or so to get more. they are delicious, though, and i think i might try to make something out of them if i get enough the next time around.

Muscadines and scuppernongs (sp?) are my favorite smells in the natural world. By the way, did you take that picture? Cheryl and I are really impressed.

no, pritcher, i did not take that picture. you can be impressed with the person who posted it on the wikipedia site from where i stole it.
