Itโs about that time! If you can afford the gas then itโs definitely worth checking it out soon. I saw some promising burn areas up in WA but I think itโs a little too far from me.

Some folks call me Michelley Morelli
The morel mushroom season is starting to heat up! Life has felt so crazy & up in the air lately. Iโll be taking advantage of the season as best I can.
PS. Donโt forget to pick up some trash while youโre out foraging, itโs good luck! ๐
I gave up on peeling them, hopefully that doesnโt ruin the batch!
Hi hello. I still exist. ๐
Iโm making some Japanese knotweed pickles inspired by @blackforager.bsky.social and @foragerchef.bsky.social
My friend and I ran into a lot of invasives/medicinals at one of our morel mushroom foraging spots.
Vernal equinox mode, engage!
My heart & soul re-entered my body yesterday. Best menty h day of 2026 ๐ฅน
Thankful for the spring awakening every year. A fresh start, a lot of growth & changes. Taking some time to imagine the positive future I want for humanity, so that I can fight to make it real.

Just a few more days to catch โImagineโ at Nanny Goat Gallery. I have a piece in the show! Some really incredible artists participated in this one. I wish I had been able to go see it in person. :)
Prepping 6x6 panels for Keep It Wild! Art show in White Salmon, WA
A portion of proceeds goes to @columbialandtrust ๐ค
Affordable original art for an excellent cause!
What should I paint?! I trend toward species found in the Columbia River Gorge.

Got more yarrow, aster, & echinacea seeds planted today. Iโm trying multiple methods because my fall sown wildflowers may have been TOO protected from elements this winter. Iโm scared itโll be full of weeds & grass if I donโt fill it up! Hereโs a lupine emerging from its winter slumber to say hi. ๐
Itโs almost time for morels! IโM SO EXCITED!
Hereโs a mushroom greeting card I made a long time ago now ๐ค

Thanks :)
Very nice. I planted some Italian parsley yesterday as well. Gardening is such a soothing activity during stressful times like these.
Garden bed prep is a whole other chore! Not ready to tackle that just yet.
I hope your garden thrives this year!
True, and some people like not having to walk their dog in the dark, or hate driving at night (me over here with awful astigmatism.) ๐
3 panel comic Panel 1: Blue Guy and Pink Guy. Pink Guy: Ai will change EVERYTHING. Just give me a Shitload of money Blue Guy: okey Panel 2: Blue Guy hands over a massive stack of cash and says โHow will it change everything?โ Panel 3: Pink Guy is running away as fast as he can with the money. He says โItโs a secretโ
buying into AI
Wow, I had no idea! Thank you for that ๐
Wow, I had no idea! Thank you for that ๐
Iโm excited to have another hour of light in the evening though. Itโs always a goal to get to this time of year, and then my PNW seasonal depression starts to go away. Lol
Hell yeah, same vibe over here. I flip off the f15s every damn day and yell to stop wasting our tax dollars. The best part: Iโm in a neighborhood so Iโm sure lots of people hear me. ๐ค๐ฉ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
Please ignore my abused houseplant in the background.
Mystery allium. Maybe a leek or a smaller garlic type? Iโm tempted to pull one up but I want to give it a little more time. ๐
I just looked at my #garden plans & dang, Iโve got a lot of ๐ง
Garlic/garlic chives already out. A mystery allium (2nd pic.) Started chives, shallot, & onion inside!
Iโm also adding more greens & cabbage this year, in addition to my usual veg.
What are you going to grow?

Thank you so much ๐
Scientists discovered a caterpillar that murders insects and stitches their dismembered body parts onto its back as armor
Youโre welcome. Happy day! ๐
Ugh, sounds awful. Feel better soon!
Thank you :)
Thanks, I appreciate the good vibes!
While Iโm not surprised by that at all. Trump is probably frothing at the mouth to use nukes and then claim he had โno other choiceโ
Now that heโs gotten nearly full control of the media he finally feels safe enough to go? He doesnโt have to hide from all the meanies who tell truths anymore?!
I didnโt see this post until now. As I quickly scrolled by I paused and thought โfuck, thatโs terribleโ and then I realized it was your post and I probably walked in to the room right after this. ๐๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
Separating onion seeds. The larger ones came apart much easier. Not so sure these small ones are worth the effort.
