Spencer's only Mother's Day request was a hike with the family and somehow of my famous homemade pizza. So, we went to a local spot to try and find any last remaining morels, ramps, and nettles. We tried Declan out in the hiking backpack and he LOVED his new viewpoint on the world.
We found a few old morels that weren't worth picking, but still fun to find and revisit for next year. The ramps were sparse and older too, but would be great for pizza night (on my half :). And the other added bonus was this backpack was big enough to fill with enough nettles as I wanted. We found a really cool box turtle on our trip just chilling in wet patch of the woods. And we got a few gobblers to play along to some louder than normal aggressive cutting. There are some benefits to no hunting on Sundays in PA. We had a great hike, but no bear tracks this year!
I baked the nettles in some coconut oil later that evening and baked up a killer pizza for the evening dinner. Great day to celebrate our #1 team MVP.
