Walking Dana this morning.
I forgot to take a before photo; showing how overgrown pathway to #Cowichan #TinyCabin was before I cleared it all up.
This is the little #cabin that I like staying in when visiting/housesitting for my younger middle brother. There's a large house on property but I don't like staying in big places & prefer small spaces.

#Quwutsun #Indigenous #artist Charlene Johnny will lead work, beginning this week, on the largest piece of #PublicArt in the City of Duncan. Charlene’s #mural at 221 Jubilee Street will stand 44' tall & will represent the theme of thu-itsthuw tun shqwaluwun (be truthful with your feelings). Various #community partners, led by Quw’utsun Elders & Youth, joined together as the Nanum Iyus Tth'ele (Meeting of Joyful Hearts) #collective to support this project.

#BitterDock - part of the dock/buckwheat family of #wild #edible & #medicinal #plants easily found. Long taproot makes it hardy/drought tolerant once established. This bunch was growing out of rocky gravel, in very dry conditions.

#Indigenous #FirstPeoples used this #plant to make brooms & to hang seafood to cook.

Good morning 🌄
It's going to be another scorching day in #CowichanValley - dubbed the Warmland on Vancouver Island. It gets hotter in the valley than other areas of island. It's why many farms & vineyards are located in #Cowichan area.
