“Mountain Lions Are Murder Gardeners”
Description: Mountain lion skull garlanded with staghorn sumac and wild blackberry (favourite foods of their prey, white tailed deer).
Inspired by a study on how the North American mountain lion strategically composts the remains of its meals to encourage healthy plant growth which attracts deer, their main prey in Ontario. The study found the soil in the composting areas of mountain lions had 30% more nitrogen than the surrounding forest.

Lavender Yoghurt with Berries
This Lavender Yoghurt with Berries makes a light and refreshing dessert after a hearty Bastille Day barbie. It is slightly Bleu Blanc Rouge, with Wild Blackberries foraged in the woods and the first, beautifully ripe and absolutely delicious, garden strawberry; but it might as well be a Victoriadagen treat!!! Any way you like it, it is wonderful on a Long Weekend! Bon Quatorze Juillet and Glad Victoriadagen, friends!
Ingredients (serves 2):
1 1/4 cup plain Skyr or Greek Yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoon Lavender Sugar
about 20 small Wild Blackberries
1 ripe strawberry, rinsed
In a medium bowl, combine Skyr and Lavender Sugar. Whisk energetically until well-blended and Sugar is completely dissolved.
Spoon Lavender Skyr into two serving glasses or coupes. Top with Wild Blackberries. Halve strawberry, and place a halve in each coupe.
Serve Lavender Yoghurt with Berries immediately.
