Mushrooms

The park south of us usually has a few edible mushrooms in the springtime. However, Saturday when Marilyn and I were walking there, a plethora of these mushrooms had sprung up from slight rain and warm weather...more at once than we had ever seen before. Anyway...we filled our pockets and have lots of mushrooms to eat! The curious side effect of these types of mushrooms is that if you drink alcohol within 3 days of eating these, you get violently ill. Dang.

There was at least twice this many that we didn't pick because they were too old. They are called inkcap mushrooms, and they disintegrate very quickly.

(I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
