              @Oaktavia yeah, man! My neighbour has over two hundred acres of woods he lets me wander - crazy what I find in there since it’s just me looking. I only take what I plan on eating in the next day or two - leave so much awesome stuff behind. Today was a great day 🙂

                      Finally found more oysters on the property. Maybe it's been too hot for them?

                        Stumbled upon fall oysters out back while taking pictures of my new cap. I cut around the eaten parts so Amanda and I can enjoy them yet again for dinner. Found on oak stumps in the backyard.

                                  This post doesn’t fit neatly into any of the current threads (Gardening…, Insects) so I took a stab at Foraging...

                                  Have a beekeeping buddy and visited him this week as he was busy tending to his hobby. This time around he was recycling wax from previous honey harvests and making new wax panels. He tells me that every year he recycles about 1/3 of the total panels, so usually wax panels are never older than about 3 years.

                                  Starts by heating up the old wax panels in a bucket with a small burner and pouring the runny wax on a German machine

                                  IMG_4203.jpeg

                                  Gently clamps it down,

                                  IMG_4198.jpeg

                                  And opens it after some 15-20 seconds to get a new wax panel

                                  I thought it was pretty cool stuff.

                                  The journey is the objective.
