Mushroom Fairy Condo -Outdoor Wednesday

I don't know what it is about mushrooms, but I love them.  I have been intrigued with them since I can remember.  In the forests of my childhood we found just about every variety you can think of.  We learned which of these shrooms were poisonous, and which were edible.  These, by the way are NOT edible.

But they are still quite lovely.  I can well imagine this might be used by fairies for a magical mushroom dwelling place.  Of course, I have a GREAT imagination. 

Have a wonderful day and have a lovely Wednesday, all you wonderful people!

Unexected Mushroom Surprise

This delightful little mushroom is a little smaller than a pencil eraser.  I was so pleased to have captured this fragile beauty with my camera. 

Have a lovely day, dear friends.  The sun is shining and God is good.

White Shroom Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

 I had the fun of visiting my brother and his family a few months ago.  There's a willow tree growing from the trunk of a tree which blew down--and on that stump there are the most amazing mushrooms.

This picture was taking looking down on the mushrooms which were growing from the side.  The heart is a bit misshapen, but it is a heart non-the less!

Have a lovely day and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Speckled Fungi Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

I found these amazing shrooms on the side of an old stump.  I love these types of fungi.  They seem sort of magical to me.  Of course you can find many hearts in this bunch!

Have a lovely day and Happy Guest Heart Thursday.

Wooden Mushrooms

Well, they aren't really made of wood!  Though at first glance it almost seems they might be.  Note the water in the middle is in the shape of a heart.

My Friend Linda and I found them one misty afternoon, as we'd embarked on a quick walk.  She was from out of town and before they left, she wanted to see the "Curly Cue House" I had told her about.   Then a half block away, we discovered these palm-sized mushrooms.

This one looks like one of those sculpted water features!

And we did get to see the Curly Cue House, too.  See the flamingo heart?

Unexpected Heart - Guest Heart Thursday

 I was stacking wood when I came across this Unexpected Heart no bigger than my smallest fingernail.  Such an exquisitely perfect little fellow.

Then I noticed an entire forest of these tiny beauties.

I caught their perfectly scalloped edges from underneath.  One never knows what amazing things one might see--even in a wood pile!

Surprise in the Woodstove

Nope, no fire faeries this time! This afternoon I was adding wood to the fire when I noticed a miniature forest of mushrooms on the end of this log! These tiny mushrooms were smaller than a pencil eraser!

I was enchanted. Aren't they delightful?

DADDY UPDATE: Dad went to the neurosurgeon for his checkup. Though the bones in his neck have made progress healing, he must wait for a CAT scan and those results before the surgeon will allow Dad to take the brace off. He's allowed to have it off three-four times per week to eat and rest. Please continue to pray for Dad's fractured neck bones to heal. Dad is frustrated and unhappy--please pray that God will give him distracting spots of joy throughout each day.

Thank you so much for all your prayers, love and concern.

Glorious Pile of Shrooms

Thursday my delightful sister Clytie and I went for a long walk through the forest and fields near where we grew up. We had such a great time together. Truthfully, I will never take those times spent with my sister for granted, ever again . . .

Here you see a fabulous pile of mushrooms. I love the plush color and shape they have--the way they mound up and spill over. Truly glorious.

SISSY UPDATE: Clytie is doing very well. I spoke with her this morning--it was SO good to hear her voice. She says she slept well and except for a little weakness, feels almost completely back to normal. All praise for her healing must be given to God. How gracious and kind He is! Thank you everyone for your prayers! God heard you!
