My Foraging Adventures
My Happy Place
Dandelions, dewberries, turmeric tea, and reverie. My personal photo of one of the many times I went out in the springtime, gathering the gifts of nature.
“To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, one clover, and a bee, and reverie.
The reverie alone will do, if bees are few.” ~Emily Dickinson
The reverie alone will do, if bees are few.” ~Emily Dickinson
Dictionary: Reverie, a state of pleasantly being lost in one's thoughts.
In other words, my theory on this term is that it means, “Let the clover and the bee do their job, nature will usually flourish if left alone to do its job.” Meanwhile, we can daydream, and enjoy it all!
Please pick and harvest just a little, and leave the rest for the bees, and all sorts of wildlife that depend on it for food, shelter, and enough to keep it growing, spreading its seeds, and it will be there next time you come to visit.

In Search of Wild Honey. I know this is a bumble bee, I just love the photo, and the pollen all over the bee.
