Foraging Along the Trail

Body
San Augustine, Texas – Join Rachel Galan on Saturday, May 27th at Mission Dolores State Historic Site’s Visitor Center for a leisurely foraging walk. Most of the plants you will meet are more than likely happily growing just a few steps from your front door and offer a wealth of wild foods and remedies. Some of these plants are Texas natives, some were carefully carried here by explorers and settlers, and some just hitched a ride and made Texas home. th We’ll start under the Muscadine grape arbor at 10 am on Saturday, May 27 , have a look at some of the plants growing in our Administration Building flower beds and lawn and then take a stroll along the Mission Dolores walking path and see what foraging plants we can find, identify and discuss.

Among the Pines

Living in the south, trains are seen mainly as a means to transport cargo. Each year when I begin my lessons in US History, the students first draw a map of the Transcontinental Railroad as a way to situate themselves historically and geographically. To them, trains are merely the means to transport cargo. They know, of course, about sleeper cars and hobos who rode the rails during the Great Depression, but what many of them don't realize is that you can still travel by train today. Always up for an adventure, I knew it was something I had to try and let them know how it went.

My Five Cents

The first few bills have made it to the Governor’s desk for his signature, which signals the end of session is fast approaching. Of the over 8,000 bills filed this session, just over 100 bills and joint resolutions have been sent to the governor and four have been signed into law.
