Hi, Hello!!! Is all sweet & savory your side?  Nothing too sour & bitter?  Being your usual salty self? Anyone else now feeling vaguely nibbly? Last week, being of sound mind but sickly body, I did a LOT of walking. When you have terrible headaches and your stomach thinks you're lost on a wild & stormy sea, I find it helps to go out and move your body - sometimes this makes you feel better and other times, if you're going to ache and feel miserable, you might as well do it while looking at interesting things - win win!  With all the rain and cooler temperatures we've had mushrooms and toadstools have really come into their own! (Oh don't you long one day to see a real toad on a toadstool? Just to satisfy scientific curiosity?) I wish we had the stomach to be able to eat them... (The mushrooms, not the toads, I think people already eat those...)  Funny thing is the pictures give you no idea of the size of each fungi, like the flat brown mushrooms were wide...

Hi hi hi!!! How have you been? Are you well? Do you smell? Do tell!  So much sorry sorry for no letter last week, I was very under the weather! (Why do we say 'under the weather ' when sick? Since we're always pretty much under the weather as a rule... I must ponder this...) Today I am sick again, with a headache so sore I wasn't able to even go walk in the park! Therefore I will share a bunch of park photos!!  Let's live vicariously through them!  Like look how pretty the park was last week! I can say that if you get the urge to just sort of plunge into the long grass and get all soaked with dew - do it, it's marvelous! (Ideally though in open shoes or barefoot, otherwise you end up with soggy socks... *small tear falls from experience*) Light through trees is best light!  These little frogs were so small, I don't think I can tell you how small they smalled! SMALL! Leaf for scale - Small!! Some birds have the most beautiful feathers,  I think this might be ...

Hello & Good day! How are you? What have you been up to and what goal is this leading you towards? I have spent most of my days at home last week, either doing work or sitting on my bum - doing work.  The fact that I do not have bed sores on said part of my anatomy ups my gratitude daily! But to be fair, once a day, I did go to the park near us to study important things - like tree bark! Have you ever just noticed all the types of tree bark there are out there? Below are just 5 different types I saw in 1 day! My favourite was the mossy green 1, so weirdly soft and friendly!  And the trees themselves? Look at this fellow! I love the 2 long, dead straight branches to the right making A-CUTE angle!  Ah school math you serve me well... It's too high to climb but wouldn't it be fun to try? Eeek when I'm healed!! There's limits people, limits!! There were TONS of lovely coloured flowers like this one all about the park, I call them 'bindweed' but they probably ha...
