Saturday afternoon I found this little garden gnome staring at me as I walked by to photograph the discarded couch. Yard art. Garden art. It looked like he was holding a stem of the vegetation in his right hand.

We had just gone to see the rabbits who live a few blocks over. Fed them some clover and dandelion leaves. As we walked back home, Charlie saw the fire truck down the street and watched as it drove by. Waved to the firefighters as they passed. They waved back. It sure was a looong truck. A little excitement in the neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon.





Every Monday Restless Jo posts her walks (click to see Tróia) she has many blog followers sharing their walks. Jo often leaves a good word on my blog. Although I’ve been “walking along” with Jo for years, this is my first time to join the community of walkers, too. Total 5.6 miles walk but…..

Fungi. There are so many different types. Yes, there are many that are edible. But there are others that are poisonous. The one in the photo did not tempt me. I can’t picture it on a plate. Perhaps you know what it is.

I couldn’t identify this growth even with all the photos-there are so many interesting names of Fungi – from Milky Caps to Hairy Cushion. There are corals,hoofs, shelfs and caps. There are fungi named Hedgehogs or Turkey Tail. Even a false morel.
The authors say in their guide “Although we provide information about edibility in this guide, DO NOT eat any mushroom unless you are absolutely certain of its identity: many mushroom species look alike and some species are highly poisonous.”
