  5. wonderful textures.... I best get out to do more raking so I can see the fiddleheads and the rest of the things popping up - now that the snow has melted again!

  6. have you tried dyeing with the bloodroot? wonder if it would give colour in paper. the roots were used to dye basket reed, porcupine quills and as a face paint.

  12. Love seeing the bloodroot, I miss it, should have taken some from my other home. Love the idea of resurgence. Sorry about your friend Steve. Must be hard to have your home plowed down by wind. Yes, flooding here too and winds. Weather is having its say.
