The weather here has been a bit wild. First it’s warm and sunny and then it turns cold. Add onto that we have had a lot of rain. Two days this week we have seen almost an inch a day. I think Fall can’t decide what it wants to do. Something about the weather this year has made a huge crop of mushrooms sprout up all over the property.
In the first picture the mushrooms are huge. They are a little smaller than a dinner plate. Then in the second picture a puff ball looking mushroom grew up next to the dinner sized plate ones.
The first picture here reminds me of the coloring in some snails. The second picture I thought was neat. One big parent mushroom and little baby mushrooms gathered all around.
When I look at this first picture I see a floating sting ray. Lee said he thought it looked like a jelly fish. The next picture looks like a sea shell to me. Like a Sand Dollar.
There were quite a few of these little yellow headed ones. My camera decided that it was going to pretend that it couldn’t take the color yellow. The second picture reminds me of a snail shell again.
I loved this little mushroom. It reminded me of summer and blowing dandelion seeds.
Of course I had Jack and Jasper following me around while I was trying to take pictures. Jack is getting much bigger. Her eye we think is also getting a little better. I feed her some Lysine mixed in with soft food. Lysine is supposed to help herpes infections and is what we used with Jasper and his herpes eyes.
Our holly tree is in full berry bloom. I like how many birds it attracts but I hate all the spiny leaves that it sheds. Too bad I couldn’t use it’s berries for something useful. I could make a berry jam that would cause extreme diarrhea but I suppose but that doesn’t sound fun. With the weather being so wet we haven’t got a good fall color in the leaves this fall. The rain and wind knocked them off early along with stunting the glorious color. Last year the leaves on the ground were awesome color. This year not so much…
The mushrooms are very cool! I haven’t had time to go looking arund for them on my place recently. I wonder if any of yours are edible?? You’ll have to get a book… Glad to see Jack is getting better! Can she see out of that bad eye at all?
Lynn- The vet said that Jack’s eye would be like holding up your hand in front of your your eye. You would still be able to see around the edges but not through it. I need to make an appointment soon to go get her fixed so we aren’t blessed with kittens.
Jack’s head looks humongous in this picture! She’s such a nice kitty.
