There's a Fungus Among Us

The last couple of weeks have just flown by.   There has been a recent return of more summer-like weather,  and we are soaking up every last moment of summer vacation.  The warm weather also has the garden going gangbusters!  Check out the back to the garden page to see what we have been harvesting and what our farm bag families have been enjoying. 

Similarly to this little guy we saw a month or so ago, a beautiful shelf mushroom is emerging from this tree.  It seems that overnight it has gone from a little speck to a rather massive presence.  I am headed out now to do the nightly garden harvest, and put together a special fresh dinner for the girl who begins the 7th grade tomorrow!  We will squeeze every last drop out of summer for her this evening.

Don't Forget to Look Up

It was an incredibly busy weekend here on the homestead, and just when I thought that the time was  flying by so fast that I might forget to breathe, nature put a little surprise in front of me, just out of reach.  It is amazing what can happen if you dedicate a moment to simply look around and take in your surroundings.  It slows you back down, and you might get a little treat for your trouble.  A word of advice....when you take this time, don't forget to look up!   Happy Monday!

Dratted Fungi

For those of you who tried to read my post last night, there may have been some pesky and all together inappropriate pop ups that interrupted.  Apparently the Instagram widget for blogger was either hacked or had a bad html code.  Whatever the reason, I have removed it and taken all of the steps that Blogger forums advised me to take.  Hopefully it's gone!  Please message me if you encounter any craziness from this point forward.  So sorry if your eyes were invaded by the dratted fungi!
