( Tanya Photo )Miner's Lettuce
It has been raining as it is supposed to do here in Northern California in December. There is snow on the hilltops and on the mountains we can see from the Sacramento River Trail.
It is cold enough for parkas and long johns, heavy gloves and woolly caps.
But when the sun comes out as it occasionally does--it is pretty nice. The spring plants--the mosses and the lichen and now the leafy things--are making their annual comeback!
One of the best--that we look for every year when we are in this climate--is the good old Miner's Lettuce--and it has never let us down!
Pictured above, this little leafy plant is a tasty edible!
It won't last long--but while it does--yummy!
It especially good with cold morning raindrops right on the little green leaf for sauce!
