The best way to make applesauce is without adding sugar! Just good quality apples, cinnamon, lemon juice and I added some apple cider vinegar. Yum! It's like pie filling but not grossly sweet!

Collecting common rush for weaving projects! It's often used after splitting the fiber and removing the pith. Otherwise it's very hard and rolls everywhere! We tried it whole and it presented quite a challenge. Looking forward to working it in a different way :)

A sit spot is a place in nature where you quietly observe and pay attention to what's happening around you. So glad this practice is part of the hunting course I'm taking.

In Union Bay, BC "Following up on the marine waste collected off our beaches…. It was 60kg of material that did not end up in the landfill. The pictures give you an idea of what’s been collected since July at this depot…. roughly 48 metric tons off our beaches, out of the oceans and not destined for the land fill.

There are several depots on the coast. Information in the link."

The yellow cocoons are silk worms. The worms around the Hoa Binh area eat leaves from the mulberry tree. A female silk worm lays 300-400 eggs. 10 days later they become a caterpillar. About 50 days later, they form a cocoon which is boiled to obtain silk. The cocoon becomes silk and the pupae becomes food.
