I took a walk through the fields and in the woods this morning in one of my most favorite areas in GR– the gravel pits and down by the Grand River in and around Johnson/Millenium Park.

Not only did this help re-root my person back to my own land after being away in Nicaragua for the past few weeks, but it also gave me a chance to stop and say hello to some of my favorite plants as they move into winter’s hibernation.

I recommend getting out in all seasons, if you want to work with plants. It’s good for both an herbal practice and for the heart– even on those cold mornings (and remember, there’s never the wrong weather, only the wrong clothing).
