Muskie a la Wine Cap?
One day last week a shy, retiring gentleman–OK, a guy who does not like to have his picture taken–brought Kathy Windiate a nice offering of his fine cultivated Wine Cap Mushrooms (Stopharia rugosa-annulata). I thought you’d like to see them. They were enormous. When I was googling for more information about Wine Caps, I happened upon […]
Louan and Gerry’s Excellent Adventure
May 18, 2010
Sunday was a day devoted to playfulness. It went even better than I had any right to expect. Louan Lechler called about this and that, and the next thing you know we were haring about the countryside exploring. If you are going to spend an entire afternoon playing, it is just as well to begin with […]
The mother of all morels
May 16, 2010
I love morels. I love them sauteed in butter. I love them grilled. I love dried ones simmered in soup. But can I ever find them? I cannot. Well, mostly I cannot. All around me, though, people are finding them. Looky here: From Cub Reporter Babs Young: I’m not a big morel hunter or eater, […]

It would be a […]
Full bloom! Cherries in 60 days.
May 3, 2010
Babs writes: The cherry orchards are in full bloom, probably two to three weeks early. So if we don’t get a hard frost we will have cherries for the 4th of July. It has been an unusual spring. The “Blessing of the Blossoms” is usually planned for mid-May. This year it was cancelled when it […]
Adventures with Rob the Firefighter and the Lady Alicia
April 25, 2010
I can spend an entire morning watching the trees grow, but Rob the Firefighter and the Lady Alicia are made of sterner stuff. They are people who like to be up and doing. Here is part of what we got up and did on Saturday: Dog-walking through the woods, where we discovered what was most […]
