Mushrooms Part 2 – (melting in the yard)
Don’t eat the mushrooms
This is what the yard looks like…..
LIke I said they are pretty in the woods, but not all over the yard!
This is what we have to look forward to if we don’t get out there to pluck ‘em up! YUCK!
Guess we are going to have to get out to do some yard work today before things get more out of control than they already are.
“Happy Dance” …..It finally stopped raining!
Don’t Eat the Mushrooms
It has been raining a lot here. Massive thunderstorms with high winds, eardrum blowing thunder, damaging lightening (that blew out our land line phone and we still have yet to call to get repaired) and we have gotten inches and inches of rain. The type of storms that you gasp at when you see the radar. It feels like it has rained almost the entire summer away here in New England! We were getting ready to build an Ark!
Post Rain: Now these beauties are all over the woods and, unfortunately, the yard. They are awfully pretty in the woods. My camera just did not do them justice (red caps). I love the way they just push everything out of their way when they explode out of the earth. They are like little hatching monsters. But in the yard, if you don’t pull them up in time they putrefy into a thick black smelly fungi sludge (see coming pictures in tomorrow’s post, Yucky-ick-eeewwwwe)
Also thanks to the rain I had to fight the pterodactyl sized mosquitoes to snap these pics. By the time I got back into the house I had been eaten alive. I am itchy again just thinking about it.
It is supposed to be a beautiful weekend without a drop of rain! Happy Dance, wiggle wiggle wiggle.
I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time!
You have to be an animal person to see the humor in this I guess. I love how the cat never gives up, and the dog doesn’t give a crap. I wonder if this happens every day? I bet it does. How’d mum or dad know to set up the camera.
If I only had opposable thumbs I could help put all this stuff away
Guess how I am spending my weekend?
My goal this week was to stop by the apartment every day and move a few things. So, in the pouring rain all week we moved a whole bunch of my stuff. Now the fun part, sorting it all out and finding a home for it here at the house. Luckily some of it has been already put away.
This is supposed to be exciting, but I am so overwhelmed at this point. I want to join Boo, take refuge and take a long cozy quiet nap.
But if they put all this stuff away where will I nap?
Guess it’s time to stop procrastinating…..
Oh and I forgot to tell you….We were notified by the town yesterday that we have e-coli in the water (icky- ick-ick). Authorities state the water ban probably won’t be lifted until Monday! Fun weekend, so in between unpacking boxes we are boiling H20.
40 things every woman should know by 40
August 12, 2008 at 6:45 pm (Extraordinary Things in an Ordinary Life) (40, 40th year, birthday, comment, contribute, friend, friends, help, list, post a comment, self improvement, share, things women should know, wisdom, woman, women)
I have been thinking a lot about this year…. A friend of mine, (considerably older than me), upon wishing me a Happy Birthday said (paraphrased), —The year after my 39th birthday was very significant. I got a lot of loose ends tied up – moved forward into a more secure, self assured, relaxed life. I really learned a lot, it was one of my most memorable years.—
I so started making a list of sorts of things that I feel every woman (you & me) should know/do by the time they reach their 40th year. Not necessarily in order of importance, just in the order that my brain spit them out…..
