Happy Monday. A bit of a cool to cold to wet snap here. I managed to get out on the water for a few hours this morning. Rain forecast for the rest of the week!

Great work and I love the simplicity of the country pattern.

Have you guys ever heard of a pleated ink cap? Your fungus story reminds me of them. I tried to grow something outside in a closed chamber and they popped out.
They spring up and die within a few hours, so sometimes you won't even notice them. I have seen them outside here and there. They're very pretty!

You've really got a knack for woodworking! Reminds me of my grandfather, he always loves to work with wood, if you wonder where he is, you already know he's in the garage.
I love the pattern!
It was really an interesting subject. Plus how the color changes when the spores disperse. I have always enjoyed reading about plants.

They are really pretty. I've not seen any, but just looked them up and apparently they are common in some parts of the UK . Sadly toxic though.
That's familiar but something I'll have to Google to remember for our type in the USA.
Ok I googled and well...we have them here but the ones I've seen aren't trying to look like little emphemeral daisys. They don't even try to disguise their ickilThat's familiar but something I'll have to Google to remember for our type in the USA.

I think it may be funny to some people in the Northern hemisphere that snow is so intresting to us, but the last time it snowed here in SA was almost a decade ago. It snows in the Drakensberge and in the neighbouring peaks of Eswatini, but not a lot of people go through the effort to get there. So it's quite a sight to us, but to others it's just normal life!

I also like the patterns. They say their wool can keep you warm in the European cold, but I don't want to take a chance. Their summer sale however has major price cuts, so it could come in handy, even when we go to Ireland later this yearNever heard of the company, but nice patterns.

I haven't heard of them, but winters are very cold in Denmark and other Scandinavian countries, so I would think there woollies would definitely be made to keep you warm.
I went to Athens in Greece in February of the early 1990s; we hadn't had any snow in the UK that winter but when I arrived in Greece we were stuck at the airport for hours because of snow. They hadn't had snow since the German occupation 50 years earlier!
I have some lovely pics of the Parthenon and oranges growing on trees covered in snow. Luckily it didn't last too long and we were able to see all the historical sites.

Yes, something similar happened when I went to Tunisia round about the same time - heavy snowfall,- and all the young staff at the hotel were rushing outside to take photos, because they had never seen snow before !! There were orange trees weighed down with snow there too. But it had gone when we took the obligatory camel ride into the desert.

Hello everyone, I was informed by my son Joe that he and his significant other and my 2 grandsons will be in the FL keys. They will be there May 21st for a week. Rose just made reservations for 3 nights at the same hotel they are staying at. So that will be from the 23rd and check out on the 27th. No it's my job to find a charter captain to go fishing one of the days. 
Certain types of snow storms are lovely to me too if I don't have to go out and drive around in it
It's normal life for me but there's something about the air in certain types of snowfalls that will wake me up from a sound sleep. There's a peacefulness. The air is kind of balmy and it's so beautiful it's timeless. I enjoy just watching it and the goings on of the birds. Maybe kids playing and sledding in the daytime. Or if it's at nighttime many times there's moonlight and I'll open the curtains to watch the show.
