Continuing to forage for berries this summer all fruits are abundant this year.
Excellent day of foraging today 🙂
Bunchberries are ripening fast, blackberries are abundant along with August apples - wow what a summer for berries !!!
Continue to vote daily if you remember, first elimination is on the 22 nd. You can dream !!! Especially from a balloon with all the freedom you can imagine.
Was fortunate to have the opportunity today for a sunrise ballon ride over Sussex for my birthday. Thank you to my children (Kassandra, Hilary and Andrew) for thinking of this as it has been on my bucket list for a long time. Loved, loved, loved it!!!!

Biking past this area in Caraquet last weekend and I spotted one of my favourite plants (ok I have many like the Venus flytrap). This beautiful purple pitcher plant (carnivorous in nature) found in fens and bogs in NB has many interesting qualities.
The plant lives off insects that fall prey to its sweet smelling nectar, they land on the front of the spoon like head covered with downward pointing hairs. The insect falls into the hole of eternity filled with water and the plant absorbs all the nutrients - it is genius 🙂
I did get my feet wet although it was worth it to see these beauties up close. The tall flowering purple flowers are a hint that the leering plant is below.
Great day to be out exploring new nature parks this time in Memramcook 🙂
Be sure to check out Cornhill Nursery the smells are incredible from the flowering plants to the aromas coming out of the kitchen/cafe.
So much to explore along the Fundy Trail Parkway. Be sure to check out our Amazing Places in the UNESCO designated Fundy Biosphere Region.

Be sure to check out the Fundy Trail Parkway this summer as there are so many Amazing Places to explore within the UNESCO designated Fundy Biosphere Region. My happy place !!! Join me 🙂
The waterfalls at Fuller Falls could actually be fuller (pardon the pun) although with low snow melt this year all the streams are low throughout the park and everywhere in the province.
So much to explore as Mother Nature provides warm days for everything to sprout!!! Can not wait for special clover finds 🙂
Sugar Camp Visit with Students
For many it was the first time to a camp and for candy on the snow. A truly Canadian tradition shared by all.
Maple season is here first big boil of the season today under the Fundy Maple brand.
March is Maple Month - the sweetest season of the year.
Sugar season is not far off busy in the woods doing maintenance tapping soon 🙂 exciting times.
Love bringing my own wild teas on hikes. Especially in winter when you need a boost from Mother Nature herself.
Join me in the summer as we celebrate and experience the devine flavours from the wild - during my Forest Tea Parties.
Great day to be making a product from elderberry that I love during the winter months. Elderberry cordial 🙂
