Oh, Karen , bless you for thinking 🤔 of others. Stay warm. 🤗
Thanks Karen! We just had your storm pass through Colorado Wednesday evening. Wonderful snow, bone chilling cold. Just above 0 today. Love all the plants you show us. What you do is important work.
Thank you Karen. Would love to go out on a hike with you and your husband one day
Karen, we are having a few nights at -23 C (-10 F) down here in northwestern Arkansas now with about 4.5 CM (2 inches) of dry light fluffy snow. I had to look those up on my phone app. Stateside most of us think best in inches and F degrees. Nice to hear your voice! What can you use burdock pods for, besides making fake Velcro to fool your friends? Not many folks out there shooting golf today, eh? (Look! I can speak Canadian!) 🙂💖🌹
Thank you
What do you use the seed pods of burdock for?
what a good day to be alive , to see the awesome power coming from the most High, to give thanks for our being allowed to witness the greatness in every part of creation.
Really enjoyed this — lovely to see the plants off season. I could identity just a few but am looking forward to learning more. Thanks for sharing!
This was great! Thank you. I was thinking, what would have been really neat is if you had shown us what these plants look like also in their season, a side-by-side of them of what they look like in Winter and what they look like in Spring/Summer. No matter, this was great!
Thank you for the video. I also want to thank you for not loading it to the max with commercials like many other channels do.
Some of the seeds and even frozen berries like rose hips could be gathered and eaten in the winter. Also by learning to identify the plants in the winter when spring and summer arrive you have a better idea where to go in order to forage specific things.
Thank you Karen!!!
❤️🙏
