If it's
Not faeries. Mushrooms.
Day before yesterday there were six. I plucked them up and threw them in the garbage. Yesterday there were 13. I plucked them up and threw them in the garbage. Today when I let Abby out for her morning constitutional, there were 37.
I plucked them up and threw them in the garbage.
I forgot to take their photograph, but below are some of the same type from last year:
The experts (Adrian in Scotland and Michelle in England) said they were the magic kind. I have no reason to doubt them.
Last year I feared I was being invaded by alien creatures. This year I almost look on them as friends, but I still pluck them up. I do not need my dog or my neighbor’s cat to be high.
In summary, I live such a mundane, humdrum, boring life that I now post about mushrooms.
I like your mushroom post, I appreciate the mundane, humdrum moments. I never thought of picking the mushrooms in my yard, that might be a good idea for dog safety.
ReplyDeleteTerra, perhaps picking the mushrooms occurred to me because our doggie is small and inquisitive. Or perhaps I am a worry-wart, seeing hazards where there may be none.
DeleteYou just didn't see the fairies. Everyone knows that mushrooms are there for the fairies to rest on during a night of dancing.
ReplyDeleteEmma, but the mushrooms are not there at night. They spring up in the morning, with/like the dew. Besides, with my phenomenal hearing, I would have heard the fairies dancing.
DeleteI think that the funghi family have a kind of beauty (edible or not).
ReplyDeleteMundane is fine. Particularly when you consider the purportedly Chinese curse 'may you live in interesting times'...
Elephant's Child, if you look around you will discover that their curse has come true.
DeleteI think I would call them toadstools. They look rather like the kind of ones that fairies live amongst.
ReplyDeleteJenny, I will have to look up the difference between mushrooms and toadstools. My work is never done, it seems. Oh, and welcome to the blog -- I don't think I have seen a comment from you before. If I have (seen one from you before), you are still very welcome.
