“My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand.”
Thich Nhat Hahn
My mom and I planted the larger trees 21 years ago as seedlings. The consequence of this action is another generation of conifers filling empty space in a fallow field.

The bright side of invasive species…
2 cups autumn olive berries
1 cup wild grapes
1 macintosh apple
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
Put all ingredients except for sugar in a sauce pan and simmer until fruit is broken down and soft (about 20 minutes).
Run through a food mill and pour puree back into the sauce pan with the 1/2 cup of sugar.
Simmer until the consistency of a soft jam (will set further after it cools)
