the spores can travel through the air or by flowing water. if they land someplace that is suitable they'll grow and send up mushrooms. it doesn't take that much for them to grow (some of the places they come up here are thin layers of wind-blown debris and limestone mulch which is put down...

i've seen the results of vehicle and moose collisions... not pretty at all. we don't have moose in this area.

the hunters have been out the past few weeks thinning them out but there are so many of them it doesn't make much of a dent in the population. vehicles take about 1/4 of the amount that hunters do.

oh deer! nothing fun about that (i've hit them and had them hit me). i try not to drive at night around here any more.

the ones we get here at home that pop up from time to time are the morels and i usually don't eat them i just let them spread more spores around. it's not prime territory for them so we don't see many. considering when we first moved here there were none at all (and for 15yrs later) then the...

yay! congrats to them and to you. :)

some people had all the luck. as kids Dad would line us up for haircuts and my brothers got to have bangs, but because i had a cowlick in the front he just buzzed me - too confusing for him to deal with. for some years in the teens i had longer hair but kept it shorter during most of college...

ok, i'll just go with they needed door knobs and those were what they found at the flea market or hardware at the lowest price... :)

i certainly understand just wanting to take a break at times, but then i also know that by spring i'll be kicking myself for not getting enough exercise. i hate exercising just for the sake of it... MWF i should be going at least a half hour of some Tai Chi warmups and other exercises to keep...

perhaps they had various collections they didn't want cleaning people or random visitors to be able to get at easily?

for fresh mushrooms we're usually paying about 0.16/ounce at the big box store. for canned ones at the stupormarket i think it runs about $1.50 per 15ounce can, but by the time you drain them you're probably actually getting half that.

we eat a lot of mushrooms, fresh or canned. good yums :)

this isn't really holiday baking, it is a part of her normal routine baking. as i have not heard any cursing and haven't smelled smoke or the smoke detector going off she is doing ok. when i woke up i checked with her to make sure things were going ok and it was. as i am one of those people...

Mom has her new mixer out (she fried the old one after many years of use - the replacement is the same brand but i can tell it isn't as well made so i suggested to her to not overload it - she probably will ignore my suggestions but i tried) to make cookies. i have 8hrs of music on. it's...

i'm cuckoo for cocoapuffs!
