Here I am, the Great Hiker with a broken foot. NOT GOOD. I am bored, cranky and want to get out and move around. I did just that today although I didn't go far - just a short distance in the woods and around the yard a bit.
I heard the thunder in the distance so I headed back to the woods and dug up some nice sphagnum moss to try on Ebay. I had to get it before the rains got here. That stuff holds water like a sponge. I did spritz it some when I got home and it greened up real nice and gained some weight but not too much. I also decided to get some dendroid moss. That stuff is my favorite! I had to scoop up a good bit of dirt when I took it so it stays in a clump. Again, I spritzed and it has greened up but I don't dare touch it for a bit. That stuff isn't a clump like regular moss. It is all individual little trees. So beautiful! I am so blessed to have a side yard full of it. It's like walking on a big fluffy cushion - total heaven! And it never needs mowed! I hope eventually my entire yard is covered with it!
This blog is about my travels and hiking as I collect mosses for my terrariums for selling. I hike nearly every evening. The 600 acres surrounding my home are ever changing. Every hike brings a new discovery. If you are reading this, you most likely love mosses. You might design terrariums or vivariums. Or perhaps you just enjoy reading about life in the woods. If you are interested in my mosses, drop me a line or check me out on Ebay. My Ebay user name is pinchingpennies4now.
