We Have a Fungus Among Us

Yesterday afternoon I was out doing my crop tour (that's what my dad does when he checks on the things he has planted, technically I am doing the same. Who cares if he will harvest the grain that might end up on your sandwich some day & I am only growning pretties it's all the same to me) & I found these dudes in an urn on the front porch.

I know they can't be good for the plants, but they looked wicked, so I had to take a picture.

So this morning I was doing a crop tour because it rained again last night & now look at them! The look more like little yellow umbrellas (or marshmallows when you microwave them for rice crispy treats) this morning.

And there are even more under the umbrellas.

Wicked... I guess I should spray them with some fungicide, but they look so cool. Gotta take care of my crops...

I never dreamed that I would complain about the rain. Growing up we would pray & pray & pray & beg & do rain dances & pray for rain. Here it seems like it rains almost everyday. (not really but sometimes it feels like it) My kids at school haven't been on the playground in 3 weeks because of the rain & then the mud. It makes my job of keeping them entertained & off the ceiling really hard. My grass does look beautiful though, everything is growing like crazy & we haven't had to run the sprinklers at all. That's good, right? And the lakes are all up so we can take the boat out...oh...wait, we don't have a boat - that's a whole different post.

On the agenda for today - Rockwall Garden Tour - YIPPEE! Yes, Brock is going, yes, he is still my husband & not my gay friend. It's fun, we went last year & got lots of good ideas for our blank slate of a yard. What's really exciting about the tour today is that two of the houses are on 2 acre plots in a neighborhood just down the road from here, so at one time they had HUGE blank slates like us. It will be great to see what they have done.

Happy Saturday!

PS - 13 days of school & 30 days till Jamaica, but who's counting?!?
