Never in all of my years of mushroom hunting have I found mushrooms this early. We've had some of these staked out since March 24th. I don't know which is more fun, hunting them or eating them? I've had people over the years tell me that mushrooms don't grow, however, we stake them every year and they grow for us. I'll be picking them today to clean them and get them prepared for a delicious meal. Yumm....my mouth is watering already.

Spring has Sprung

Life has been a flurry of activity this spring. We've had such an unusually mild winter and early spring. Everything around has been in bloom a month earlier than normal. Even our lilacs are in full bloom. Very strange weather indeed.

It seems that since we sprung ahead with our daylight time, I've been hurrying to catch up. Not enough hours in the day to get things done. I have my early spring garden planted and have a lot of spring projects already finished. I love this time of year. Everything is so alive and fresh. I love the fragrance in the air and the hearing the birds awakening in the morning. It's just a reminder that it's the simple things in life that brings great joy.
