Went picking some muschrooms this morning. The rain was pouring down but we found a lot of them.

Going home to visit my parents over the weekend. Want to go out into the forest and pcik some chanterelles. Was far too many years since I last did that. Hopefully there are atill some left.
Won’t be updating with pictures this weekend since I won’t be bringing my computer home.

A cupcake I painted that was intended to be a logo, but she didn’t want it.

Took some photos yesterday of the three rings I’ve made. Cute neh?
