Whole spring dandelions delight

May 12, 2011 Erica M. Davis 5 Comments

A whole spring dandelion dug from the Denver dirt.

Yesterday another foot of snow fell at the house here at 11,000 feet in the Colorado Rockies. So much for the few hints of green that were beginning to poke out of the dirt. Fortunately, Gregg and I scored some small spring dandelions last weekend at his parents’ place at 6,100 … [Read more...]

Expectorating with Sticky Gumweed

September 16, 2010 Erica M. Davis 14 Comments

The pungent curly-cup gumweed tincture with which I treated my dry cough.
