Hi, I’m Jill. I’m a semi-retired outdoor adventurer, and there have been some changes in my life lately! When I started this blog, I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I played with my husband and two boys in California’s Bay and Delta region. Now, we’ve moved about as far as we could go across country, and reside in the Appalachian Mountains of Pensylvania.
Join me on my new quest to explore the east coast in general, and the Appalachians in particular. I’m here to document my journey and encourage you on yours. I’m a middle aged, not so fit, urban rural mom – and I’m fascinated with all things outdoors. I’m here to journal my adventures – hiking, camping, backpacking, kayaking, boating, and occasionally – travel. Join me! I know that if I can do it, you probably can too!
I also talk a lot about plants. I’m a bit obsessed. There’s no way around it. Check out my plant profiles to see how I’m trying to learn and make sense of the incredibly complex world of all things Plantae, with a few forays into the not technically plant world of Fungi.
Please Consult More Authoritative Sources
I hope you like my writing and musings about plants as I explore the world around me. I am an avid hobbyist, but still truly a novice at plant identification, foraging, and many things outdoors. I’m sharing my journey here, and I hope it’s useful and maybe even inspiring to you. Whenever you are attempting to ID a plant, please do more research and consult many more authoritative sources than my writing.
