Mycology Report

Mycology is the biological study of fungi - YEAH. I love to eat fungi - otherwise known as mushrooms. Unfotunately I don't think the ones growing in my yard are edible; too bad because there are lots of them and they keep gettin' bigger. Here's a ring of mushrooms - Todd says it's a fairy ring - what? Look it up on Wikipedia - it's kind of cool.

These were big several days ago, now even bigger.

This one looks like a different type, it was growing in the grass.

This one looks like a giant, yet slimey, pearl - pretty cool. Can anyone tell me what kind these are and if poisonous?

Doggy DayCare

Recently, Misty has been a bit obstinate in the mornings; she doesn't want to go to day care. But she needed to go today because I've got a crazy busy schedule. I dropped her off just after they opened so there weren't many dogs there (I think she likes it that way) and she played with a friend. She makes a sad face when I leave, but I know she'll have a good time as evidenced in the video.

Finally.......a new post

Anyone following the news lately? We've had an unusually wet summer and last week Wed. and Thurs. we got 24+ hrs of rain. I was beginning to think we'd float away and my thoughts weren't far from the truth. This past Saturday we went to check out the river near campus. Below is the path we'd take from campus towards the park.....not any more.

At the park - the tennis courts were completely submerged. But the ducks were having a grand time!

See that blue and white sign in the middle of the picture? The sign is at least 5 feet tall.

Here's some video of the rushing water next to the university.
