Fish and Spirals

A friend's thoughtful husband offered to take Zoe for the day yesterday........A day to myself! Fully appreciated and fully enjoyed. When in the evening I went to pick her up she handed me a Mother's Day gift. A rainbow trout that she caught at the lake. She's been talking about wanting to fish and while she and her friends were playing at the lake they wondered over to a man fishing. He gave them each a turn and voila....DInner.



I must admit I have never eaten a fish right out the lake. I have never skinned, cleaned or be-headed a fish! Zoe was so eager to participate in the process that I thought I'd give it a try. An hour or so later fish for dinner!


I have always loved spirals. The Wise Woman Tradition of Herbalism takes place in a spiral. I always seem to be drawn to the spirals all around.....Here are some pictures I gave taken over the past week.
