This is how my day looked.
So.
About that yellow goop in the woods the other day…
I got down and poked at it with a stick after I took a photo of it. I figured it was a strange fungus and I’d need to look it up in the North American Field Guide to Mushrooms & Fungi. There are some strange looking things out there in the wild.
I was really hoping for something truly unusual. And those of you who guessed were pretty imaginative. Masticated rubber chicken? Bigfoot barf? And “I think I know what it is, but gee, it really looks like it could be a chewed up rubber chicken…”
The winner is Jeanne in Iowa. It’s a stupid yellow balloon. Cross my heart. I flipped it over with a stick and there was the little end nipple. A balloon!
I’ll be mailing Jeanne a book in the next few days… Good eye!

hahahaha! That’s funny!
Congrats to Jeanne!
I sure wish we could have some of that rain you’re getting! It’s too dry here, the bush is getting is crunchy, and the risk of wildfire is increasing by the minute. We had a shower this afternoon, but it was barely enough to dampen down the dust. Some serious rain soon would be really welcome.
