Thank you Sharon. As always, your story was written so beautifully and I can see the clouds in my mind.
Sassafras is one of my favorite trees. I have my own childhood memories of digging sassafras roots and making tea.
As a child, after I cut the sapling away to get the roots, I would use the sapling to make an arrow. Growing understory, they are usually perfectly straight and just the right size.
I think I'll dig some roots tomorrow!
