Natalie Lawson commented on Chris Bocchino's group 'Wild Edible Hunters'

I live in the desert of AZ. I know many of the wild & useful plants out here. It is a Whole Different Ballgame compared to the East! I would probably starve if I was stranded in a northern forest. If you're ever stranded in the desert, make sure y...

What's Fo' Suppa'? Change Yo' Name?

Have you ever experienced a thought so funny that it tickled your funny bone the whole day? In my experience, those things that make me giggle the most are completely lost to others around me.
