Walking

… Rodman’s Hollow, waning gibbous moon… i srartle a deer who bounds to the far side of the field and is still watching me…

… two women pass with three dogs, Maya, Quora and a name i did not catch…

… humid yesterday and today, i keep thinking we should be done with that…

… plants identified this AM:

• winged sumac:

• a tea or aide can be made from it, maple syrup recommended to sweeten it
• red pine:

• native to North America
  • hope, pity symbolism
• frost aster:

• symbolism, love
• Canada lettuce:

• symbolism: Chastity, Protection, Love
• Northern bayberry:

• berries have wax that can be extracted and used to make candles
  • symbolism: illusions and appearances; used for visions and divining.

… that was the extent of my plant divining today…
