Wow! I sure hope winter leaves you alone soon. Crazy weather there.

Mine is a rooster from Key West. Lots of them hanging out there.

Worms in my freshly turned compost bin.

Know what goes with chicken? Asparagus. This is from our garden.

My birthday picture. I am now officially 75 years old ....this was taken last night. I had already put on my jacket because we were waiting on the check and the server brought me a dish of granita with a birthday candle.

Worms and asparagus? Mmmmm, delicious!!

Bob, as I slowly scanned down your picture, it looked like you had a giant asparagus plant (or tree) growing in your yard!! LOL

You could crop that to make it look like that is the case. :)

I thought it was an asparagus tree! LOL. Ours isn't even peeping up yet.

Ruthie, you guys are so cute!!

My granddaughters walking hand in hand to go see the neighbors chickens...

Lucky you, Bob!!!!

I can do worms too! Worms in my worm bin

A picture of the surf in front of our townhome at Destin this past Christmas.. It was cool, but just beautiful.... Love the beach....especially when it's freezing in Tennessee...

Dianamo, what beautiful girls! How old are they...let me guess, 2 and almost 4?

Ruthieg, a belated happy birthday. You sure don't look 75!! I bet you still get carded, don't you?? Anyway, it's a very nice picture!

On the way in from the asparagus patch, I found these: Morel Mushrooms. Some of them are huge, they are shown here on a place mat from our dining room table.

We are visiting some friends at the beach for a few days, and the plan is to make asparagus morel mushroom pasta for one of the dinners here.

Do be careful Bob, "picking up" mushrooms from non-supermarket sources can be dangerous, I'm sure you know that. A quick Google search disclosed that there are a number of poisonous varieties called "false morels". I know nothing more than that.

There used to be a middle aged couple in our neighborhood who were very keen mushroom gatherers. It was a hobby that they each had many decades of experience doing. They were active in several local and regional mushroom clubs. You know the end of this anecdote, they no longer live in my neighborhood. Nor in any other neighborhood.

Just had to add a note about that Asparagus Tree. My jaw just dropped as I was scrolling down...then saw your hand. Looks very good.

Thanks snidely. I started off with a similar quick google search, and went on from there to find steps you can take to definitively differentiate between Morels, and False Morels. I also learned enough to say for any other type of mushroom I might see in the wild, that I will leave it be.
