A Slice of Mid-March: reindeer moss...

» Red - reindeer moss...

I don't know how I managed to miss this article, but am glad that I came across it. I enjoyed the outing to gather reindeer moss and wood. I remember going to the bush as a child and helping gather firewood. Grandpa, Dad or one of my uncles used the chainsaw in later years. Before that, we used a cross-cut saw and axes. I've done my share of splitting wood and never minded it too much. I would much rather do that in my younger years than help with the dishes.

Thank you for sharing this excursion with me through your vivid writing and photos. Those totems are amazing and some time I would love to hear all of the stories.

Hope all is well with you and your family. We are having snow and freezing rain today. Winter has finally arrived, just in time for spring.
