Found out the little seeds on a strawberry are fruits too (Achenes). There are two fruits on this damn fruit

It's been a while since I last posted something 'cause my phone fell on the ground and needed to be repaired. Now I've got it back and will be more active again. #mobilephone #strawberries #yoghurt #fruit #healthy #life #stuff
THE OLD FRIENDSHIP OF BLUEBERRIES AND SWEET FERN:
"In the time before refrigeration, Ojibwe folks kept their blueberry harvest fresh by lining their birchbark storage containers with a plant called sweet fern that often grows right alongside blueberry bushes!
The leaves of sweet fern produce a compound called gallic acid, which is a potent anti-microbial and keeps harmful bacteria like salmonella from growing on the berries.
It's name in the Ojibwe dialect I've learned is "giba`iganiminzh" meaning "it covers the berries" because of this usage and its contribution to keeping the precious staple food of minan (blueberries) fresh!
I don't use a birchbark container but I do pop a few sprigs of sweet fern into my gathering bag when out picking and then into my tupperware when storing berries to remember and utilize the gifts of this wonderful plant!
(Sweet fern can also be used as a medicinal tea to help the intestines and colon! And when added to a fire, the smoke will help keep away mosquitos and horse flies--in addition to smelling lovely!)" - The Native Nations Museum, founded by Chippewa Bonnie Jones
At what point does an exploration of these images tip from information into knowledge? It’s hard to say, but it’s unlikely we would pursue either one if that pursuit didn’t also include its share of pleasure.

I wonder how many of these fruits & vegetables have changed since 1886?
One of my proudest moments in life was growing all these pumpkins.

Throwback Thursday! This is the logotype of a children's series that I created for a truly lovely client a couple of years ago. I had so much fun working on it. Happy nearly-the-weekend!
I had an idea (which happens sometimes in the middle of something entirely different that you're supposed to be doing) and I wanted to explore it right away. I wanted to do retro cassette tapes (because who doesn't love those awesome shapes?). As fruit (because who doesn't love the colours of watermelon?). And this little project was born. I don't know where it's going yet. I only have a vague inclination in my mind where I would like it to end up. It is crying out for texture, so I'll probably add that next. Comments welcome! :)
The Orange
At lunchtime I bought a huge orange— The size of it made us all laugh. I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave— They got quarters and I had a half. And that orange, it made me so happy, As ordinary things often do Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park. This is peace and contentment. It’s new. The rest of the day was quite easy. I did all the jobs on my list And enjoyed them and had some time over. I love you. I’m glad I exist.

Apple Review #1
Today’s apple: Jonagold
(Via: New York Apple Association)
For those who don’t know, jonagolds are a cross between golden delicious and Jonathan. They are very crisp but you need more than that in an apple. The flavor was alright, not the best. I couldn’t taste much of the golden delicious and it was kinda watery tasting. If you imagine a normal apple taste in your head that’s basically what it was. I didn’t hate it though.
