I went to the Sacred Wild Gathering at Smith Woods in Trumansburg, NY which has lots of Red Elderberry which was used by Native Americans and you have to cook before you can eat

Alexander Simpson came in first at the Twilight 5K -- he comes in first quite often in road races! Between going to New England, prioritizing people I gave a token to, and not overloading my followers I am not so fast posting photos...

We saw lots of Plantain in the lawn at Upper Treman sitting in the circle for the Sacred Wild Gathering

Not to be confused with that thing that looks like a Banana, my wife says Plantain adds resilience to trampled lawns
