Greens

It's hard to get into the studio when green things are sprouting.  This morning I picked plantain, dandelion, lamb's quarters and sow thistle for our green smoothies.  Soon I'll be putting nettles in there.  The slight bitterness is good for bile production, I think.  It must be good for us in some way!

Rusting, resting

It takes a while to determine if the rusting was successful. Patterns are important, it can't be too uniform.  I have waited for the spring rains and humidity to help, but it's been a strange season so far.  Perhaps a few thunderstorms are what is required.
