“Did any of the neighbors see?’’ my wife asked.
In a yellow slicker, I had picked young dandelions from our lawn in the rain this month, then prepared them.
I’ve had an interesting spring foraging or, more accurately, wandering around.

On Saturday, I wandered around a favorite morel-hunting area. There were no morels, despite friends sending photos of good finds.
But mayapples caught my eye. They had grown much in two weeks, some nearing a foot high. I bent to see downy yellow violet, violets and spring beauty up close.
Sizing up mayapples last weekend while wandering around sorta looking for morels mushrooms.
