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!
