Just a Canadian Oma who loves the forest, photography, foraging, food and gardening. 🍄‍🟫🇨🇦🇩🇪. Happily married for 41 years now. Here to share a small slice of my life. Did I mention I’m super woke!? 💖 🌟🌟Please no DMs.🌟🌟 🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈

Good morning 👋. Hot, steamy and unsettled weather for the next week. I’ve spent two days in a tent with my granddaughter and I’ve thrown my back out 🤦🏻‍♀️. Hope you have a really good day.

Good morning 👋. We’re heading up north today in hopes of finding some mushrooms after all this rain. Hopefully we’ll beat the thunderstorm 🤞. Have a great day.

Good morning 👋 not a great picture this morning but had to share. I thought there’s was a French bulldog sitting by our tree when I woke up up…nope just a dry spot after the rain 🤦🏻‍♀️. Have a great day!

Good morning 👋 these last few cool days and nights have been wonderful and now the heat, humidity and unsettled weather is make a return. Happy Friday and have a great weekend.

While out hiking yesterday I found two little Butter Boletes, just enough to make a little appetizer. Crostini with a little lemon ricotta, topped with a layer of kale (cuz that’s what the garden has right now) sautéed butter boletes, a shaving of Parmesan and a drizzle of balsamic.

There were quite a few critics for my last food photo so I hesitated posting this one but supper was so good! Maple glazed salmon with a salad made with kale, green onions and herb flowers from the garden. Couscous, roasted vegies and some dried apricots made up the rest of it. Be gentle with me 😄
