1. beautiful little mushrooms.

We have them here, but so far none has appeared.

3. Same here, alfredo.

Had some good ones in years passed. My timing may, of course, just be off.

8. Here today, gone tomorrow with some.

When I was a kid, we had puffballs in the woods around us. It was fun stomping on them. The spores formed a yellow cloud.

5. They are kinda adorable, so tiny and fragile.

I named that one Fred.

9. If I wasn't so weak, I'd be down at Raven Run to look for mushrooms.

12. That looks like fun.

I'm sorry about your being weak. It's normal, for the most part. I could go a week feeling better and then get hit by some new side effect or an old one, only worse.

Watch yourself, and if the weakness feels like something else, go to the doctor.

Once I gave in to the not eating, it got to the point where it didn't matter. Not a good place to be. I wanted the throwing up to stop and the pain to go away, and eating caused both.

13. I'm feeling OK today, though there is a bit of swelling in my neck.

I had just started sipping soy milk. I will hold off a day to see if that is the cause. It probably isn't because 2Cal is soy.

2. Very nice, Solly Mack.

In spite of rains/storms, I haven't seen any!

6. Thanks, elleng. It's been raining like crazy here.

Little things are popping up everywhere.

4. Very pretty - kind of Mary Poppinsesque too,

with that shallow DOF it looks like a parasol drifting through the air.

7. Thanks, qnr. I was hoping to get it to look that way.

10. lovely!

We are still firmly in the grip of the dry season on the north coast, so no filmy shrooms here until winter.

11. Thanks. It's wet here.
