Hey!
While the world is upside down,
the only way to calm my mind is stay in nature,
and at this time of the year,
I wanted to share my best findings with you...
With the corona virus pandemic, people are invited to self isolate
and animals really seem to like it!
We could lay down 4 metres from this sleeping fox!
I saw owls, and other woodland creatures around more than ever.
I imagined that the world could have been just like this
hundred years ago, and people knew animals, and
animals knew humains, much better!
That's how all our fairytales come about...we knew
the personality of our woodland friends, because we lived close
together, without a sea of noise..
One of the things I always liked, from
when I was small,
is to find little trails in the woods, and follow them,
imagining to be that animal.. and finding myself in the most
peaceful places, away from humains.
I often sit there, still, and feel at home.
In one of these ramblings, I saw new nettle was coming out.
Did you know that nettle is a forgotten treasure?
It is good for our mood, our sleep, blood iron level and the stinging hairs
contain serotonin!
I picked the new leaves tips, and cooked them,
you can use them just like spinach, and together with them
in soup, risotto, and as a filling of pies and tortelli.
Nature is a Mum, no doubt,
she gives us all we need to be healthy and happy!
