Wife does her field pickin early in the morning.... we have wild onions and mustard now, violets and dandelions popping...I wrote a poem about her doings ons:

Beauty Walking

Too early
To be in the field
Covered in dew
Walking the mowed lane.

Veering left
Now bending
Then step right
Stooping
Picking.

Clover for tea
Dandelions for salad
Purple violets
On toast
Smeared with honey.

She calls it foraging
Wild things
That are good to eat.

I call them weeds.
