Thanks, Yard!!

You know how when your cat likes you, (s)he will leave you mice, bunnies, birds, etc. as "gifts"?

Well, I think our yard likes us. Unbidden, it keeps leaving gifts of food for the family.

First there were the morels last year. Then this year we found Truffles while harvesting potatoes. This week it was a bunch of oyster mushrooms growing on a dead elm tree in the yard. And a large amount of sulfur shelf mushrooms down the street, this time sans poison ivy!

p.s.: still have beets, broccoli, cauliflower, corn to put by...
