Little mice on a forest adventure. Who doesn't dream of fantasy rodents in a scaled up world? It's almost impossible to see in the scan but all the watercolors used were metallic and it has this beautiful gem-like quality in the sun.

Which of these clovers tastes like a lemon?
The one on the left is a white clover. There’s a LOT of varieties of both, depending on genes and their expression. Clover has 🟢 oval shaped leaves. It tastes… like dirt.

However, the one on the right is an Oxalis. Oxalis has 💚 heart shaped leaves. There is also a common houseplant cultivar with purple leaves.
It may not surprise you given the name, but Oxalis is high in oxalic acid, which gives the leaves a sour taste like lemon. In culinary contexts, Oxalis is often called Sorrel. I have a friend who is allergic to citrus and uses Sorrel as a replacement.

If you see sorrel growing in a flowerpot or garden, engage your BULBLAX and try a leaf!

April 2024: Sunday Quest
In this post, I mentioned finding some irises growing wild & receiving a quest from my queen to retrieve seven. This is the tale...
It's always nice when something is where you left it... like my walking stick that I leave at this abandoned building site:
Hairy vetch in the wild:
The woods where the great blue herons roost:
Like any good adventure, there were side quests. The first was to locate an ear bud I had lost in this field the day before. It was not recovered:
But I did get to see a lot of crawfish chimneys:
The second side quest was to venture into the woods to see if I could spot some nesting herons.
Wood ducks. This is as close as they'd let me get:
This was the only great blue heron that I saw in the woods:
I finally got back on track & headed towards where the irises were located with a couple of distractions on the way:
Heading home with a backpack full of irises for my queen. From start to finish, the trek was 6.75 miles:
The well-earned reward - steak & peas with grilled peppers, onions & fruit:
