The things that grow on peat moss are pretty colourful up close.

That's just fantastic! Would love ot have one of those.

Not many people know this, but Darwin was obsessed with carnivorous plants (particularly Drosera)...before and after his origin of species. They were his lifelong passion.

Spoke to the owner of this 1968 MGB Mark 2 this morning at the pool supply place.
He is 2nd owner but purchased the car in high school. He is 67 now!
He said he paid $850 for it. I think he got his monies worth out of it!

1971 maybe?
I know I bought my 1969 MGB in high school when I was 16. It was used and I paid $1200 for it certified.

There's a guy I see here about once a week, walking down the sidewalk pulling a kayak on a set of wheels (I have a set of those too). When I see him, he's about 1 km from the boat launch, I always wonder just how far he's walking.

Magic mushrooms!! Growing in the trees behind my garage. And they were tough little buggers to pull out too! Did not want to let go of their perch!

Bubba · « **Reply #376 on:** September 14, 2019, 11:35:00 am »

You could have made a sombrero from a couple of those.

rrocket · « **Reply #377 on:** September 14, 2019, 11:35:21 am »

Did you eat them in your morning omelette?

BWII · « **Reply #378 on:** September 14, 2019, 11:48:10 am »

I wouldn't know an edible from a poisonous one. Looked cool though.

And yes, the big one was as big as my hand spread out. Coulda made a hat for the cat.

Brig · « **Reply #379 on:** September 15, 2019, 07:29:53 am »

Why would you pull them out? Leave them for the bugs and critters that can use them for food.
