I even fell asleep in the middle of the day curled up under the cottonwoods in oaks bottom, not my usual behavior. I am however still getting used to the smell. As an east coaster I have no special memories associated with it, and find it rather overpowering!

I felt drawn to go out to visit and yesterday sat in a huge grove of cottonwood in the Gorge. I felt so welcomed and part of the whole. The sweet juice of the fresh buds was like candy in my mouth. As I walked the woods my thoughts fell away to a sense of belonging and wellness. Chewing the bitter bark relieved the strain on my head. And the smell of the balsam now permeates my home.
