Bang!

Oops! thought I was on Uncle Timbo.

All kidding aside, i wait all winter long for my first batch of fried taters, eggs and ramps. One of my 5 favorite dish's.
My love of ramps is the main reason i refer to myself as a "dagobilly."
(Not to mention some latent appliances and some relic automobiles in the back yard.)

Yea buddy. There good with liver too.

Anyone who is interested in Ramps(might want to try them, or want to celebrate them with some good-hearted hill folks!) should google “Ramp Festivals in WVa”! There’s several, the King of which is in Richwood!(Most are fund raisers for some good cause.) A meal(More like a “Feast”that will stay with you all day long!) will cost you $10-20 for an adult, half that for kids, just remember- “Fund Raiser”, when you pay up! These are a 3-4 hour trip to one of the closer ones, a great family “all day-trip“, or spend a weekend and see the sites, heck, maybe even find a nearby limestone fed trout stream to wet a line!(daily license should be available online, pack your UL, couple small spinners-Almost Heaven!). Typical Ramp-fest time frames are mid to late

Almost forgot my latest “harbinger”! Went back yesterday morning to feed the woods birds(and Ratcoons!☹). As I stepped into the woods, a small pothole of flooded “seasonal wetland” exploded as perhaps 30-40 woodies flushed and headed to a flooded swamp next door! This is the earliest I’ve ever seen them In 30 years! Usually we have 4-5 nesting pairs beginning sometime in April.

There used to be one in Niles, Ohio, however, i don't know if that still goes on.

Thanks for the info, brother.
