This weekend I had such an uplifting experience having breakfast in the woods with Jesse. It was the first forest breakfast adventure for us in over a month, and it came at a perfect time. I was really in need of some earthly nourishment and grounding. I packed the backpack with the honey sweetened tea, 2 mugs, 2 thermoses with cooked spiced fruit, and 2 spoons. We set off through our own trail behind our house into the forest. I followed Jesse's lead off the trail through
