I'm a french forager and today is the 3rd (fourth?) day in a row that I'm eating cherries. I love foraging (* __ *)

I've just read Freedom farmers: agricultural resistance and the Black Freedom Movement (Monica M. White). The french translation was just added to my town public library.

Do you guys read in English only or do you have Books in other language as well?

I use to think this way but after learning about decluttering method, I realised there was two different things :

  • decluttering as "throwing away stuff I don't care enough for, while keeping buying and acquering stuff I don't care enough about"
  • decluttering as "evaluating what I truly need in my life and accepting that things that are getting dust and rust in my house are not less wasted as if I get them out, while changing the way I consume so that the waste of our society doesn't creep in my house anymore".

So many people are saying decluttering and mean throw away but learning about decluttering made me change the way things enter my house much more that it help me get it of other. But the mind set of "it is wasted even if if is inside your wall" was a big realisation to me.

To me it means opting out of the hype cycles and rat races that the media pushes

I also find this important. These days in don't watch anything recent in films and movies. I find old ones that are not talked anymore, I rewatch the one I already know and love and I'm really proud of how I decorrelated my media consumption from algorith recommandation. It made my live quieter, my watching experience more divers and less rushed. I still got a long way to go before optiong out the hype cycle but that's a big win for me.

Rose-hips. I didn't forage much since my last moving but I remember in autumn picking up pears from a single tree near my house. They went for underripe to extremely soft in just a few days and I didn't eat them only to learn afterward that it is normal for wild pear. What a disappointment!

In the city, you can forage tree leaves and also fruits. They are many essence we can eat that are not typically considered "fruit trees". But cherry, plum and haselnut tree are communs. Herbs, only in quiet place and only the head. That's the young leaves that are a only a few days old. I choose them in place when lawn are not mowed often so they are a not directly on the ground. And I park there is often different essences than the streets so you can find lots of fruit trees. Semi-build industrial area are also a great place to forrage. There is patches of countryside hidden inbetween ugly warehouse.

Neetles and blackberry are also available everywhere.

Guess what? I did proof read it but it seems like I forgot every I learn at school. I tried to correct myself and failed... I just deleted the whole thing. English is too hard and I'm not assuming anything.

Ans sometime it is also the grocerie. Not the avocado toast but the rebought avocado because the other ones grew old at the back of the fridge. The leftover going straight to the garbave even thought there is always a serving or two cooked extra. The little treats bought to ourselves every time we go out.

Still not people in poverty but people that can't both never been bothered spending and build a emergency funds.

Thank you for sharing.

That's brave to keep a simple lifestyle when fame and money suddently come.

Really, the joys of life are very simple. Having a couple of cats around the house, a quiet life, dabbling in watercolors and woodblock printing . . .

He's one of us (^_^)
