Getting a late harvest, but they’re finally rolling in. At least the ones I can get to before the squirrels. So here I am documenting the time and photos for my records.

Mycological Machinations
First, look at this:
Looks tasty huh?
Okay, now look at these:
It stands to reason that the scavenging omnivores we are must have at some point tried eating what was growing on the dead thing in addition to the dead thing itself. Anyway – mushrooms! A gift from my sister. Biologists, right?
Fun to watch grow though.
And with a cheesy bechamel…
Not too bad to eat.

Easement Acres
With my post hole digger out from the squirrel centrifuge, I finally got around to installing one of my Christmas presents.
Now that the estate has an official name, it needed a declarative marker. So Liz bought a sign.
Which I then affixed to a plywood backer, painted for contrast.
And then erected in the gardens, alongside the pipeline easement.
Snarky, but in good humor.

Hop Damn!
The hops are blooming! I hadn’t planned to do any brewing, but I’m getting curious. Maybe I’ll soak some in a cheap beer and see how they impact flavor.
For now though, they’re just cool.
