Is a frugal lifestyle miserable?

I have been frugal this morning! I picked Chickweed for tacos tonight! Foraging is no trip to the store, where I’d grab more stuff not on the list. Foraging is free, I don’t have to drop a $5 in the pasture. And since I picked it this morning, it’s washed and in the refrigerator, it is fresh! Not shipped 1,000 miles from who knows where.

So nutritious! Sounds like a treat!

Chickweed is my winter salad greens. I’ll have to prepare a manure/compost protected place from animal trampling place for chickweed. It’s green all winter, even under snow. When the snow melts, remember I’m in Texas, snow rarely lasts more than 3-4 days and it’s melted, the chickweed emerges unharmed, ready to pick. It will last until spring when the weather gets hot.
