Mushroom Madness

Tesla and I are fascinated by all the types of mushrooms we see growing.  I had approximately 30 photos of mushrooms we found growing at my parents, the park and now, around our home and the nearby cemetery.  I think the ones from my parents were deleted so I’m starting over.

Everyday we are together Tesla and I take Ying for a walk and check up on our “mushroom garden” to see how they are growing and to look for new specimens.  We like to name them according to what they resemble. 

Here is a sample of a few growing outside our house and in the cemetery.  The tall skinny one is really strange-looking.  Looks like a finger clawing its way out of the grave!

Very funny!!!

Now that is bright!!

The Sun is so bright today.

So bright it makes everything else look dark.

Dead limbs, broken branches…reaching upward to a light source.

Determined buds, poking their heads out.

Is it time yet?  Should we sprout?

The Sun is in command.

So powerful it creates a ring around itself.

An enormous ball of relentless heat.

Casting out warmth on a chilly February day.

Thank you Sun.

For all you do.

This Spring is from you.

Mar 4, 2007 Weird Dreamin

Current mood:tired Friday night I dreamed my bestfriend Malinda and my hubby dissappeared Saturday night and was up to no good while we were watching the group Back in Black perform. Then Malinda came back but I couldn’t find John. When I did, I was pissed and said I was leaving the bar and took the keys. When I got outside the bar some guy told me if I dipped my change into this special liquid it would clean it. I did and my coins came out real shiny! Then zombies appeared on the street and we had to throw the coins at them to make them die. This guy jumped in my car with me and tried to drive us away from the zombies but we kept running into dead ends and almost got hit by a train. Fortunately I woke up before this dream got any more stupid.

 I dreamed Monday night that I was working at Gordon’s Jewelers and I went in the back to the break room. When I opened the door a man was behind the door and he kinda scared me but I thought he was a new employee. Suddenly he grabbed me and was choking me with both hands. I tried to scream out to the other employees but couldn’t make a sound so I bit him in the hand. I woke up biting my own hand.

I think I might need therapy….
