It has been a busy month since I started trying to set up the website! I failed for several weeks… apparently my url wasn’t directed to the right nameserver… who knew about such stuff?! Anyhow, maybe it will be working soon, so I should have some CONTENT for people to look at! I have been busy getting the guest bedrooms and bathrooms completed and functional. The news flash is that we have 3 guest bedrooms that are functionally operational now… with beds, window shades, dressers/nightstands. And both guest bathrooms are functional now too. So in theory, people can come see us now! Some level of chaos is still prevalent, but none-the-less, the place is beautiful. It has been a very dry summer, but we finally got a week of rain (4 to 6 inches!) before the sky closed up again (it has barely rained again for over a week). It is still dry, but the rain brought out some of the fall mushrooms, so I had to go to the woods to see what I could find. Chicken of the woods, puffballs, shaggy manes, resinous polypore, aborted entoloma, golden oysters, Ganoderma (artist’s conk), Trametes (turkey tail), Stereum, and miscellaneous others… Fun! I even cooked up a few of the types, but I’m a very cautious wild mushroom eater. Eventually I’ll prepare and post a photo album!
