That's the words I hear with Kim's latest hobby. These mushrooms are killing my knee's! That I why I stick to birds, but Kim has discovered a whole new world beneath the undergrowth of the lawn and woods. Most of these mushroom are less then a half inch tall. Some are so small, they look like the pebbles that they grow in. With all the rain, this past week. This coming week should be good mushroom hunting.
This had to be the best pre Fall weekend, 55-60 clear sky's, light winds and no one was outside. I hiked, about ten miles this weekend, along trails next to the Minnesota Rive, National Wild Life Refuse and all within a half hour drive from Minneapolis. And I did not run into one person on the trails. It was great. I added some of Kim's Marco work this week to the Blog. I can't tell you the name of the Mushrooms, but the first one, is about 3/8" high. The second, it just stinks and it is only about 1" tall.
This House Finch caught my eye recently, do to it Mohawk. When I had the opportunity to take it photo, I noticed something wrong. The finch does not have an upper beak. Now finches are seed eater, they roll the seeds in their beaks to break them down. However, this one has learned to adapt. It does not appear to be going hungry. I scoops up the seeks and chews them up. Go to show, that even birds can adjust to the situations that are dealt to them in life.
What does 281 days mean? That is the number of days, until the next fair. I know, big deal right. However, since Kim didn't feel that she did all that great at the State Fair this year (only 14 ribbons) in her bread baking. I challenged her to make one new kind of bread each week. To keep up with the challenge, you can follow along at Kim's Bread Adventure at www.kimsbread.blogspot.com
