Mushrooms

Just a quick update this morning... we saw evidence of the wild pigs (feral hogs) again down by the lake. We were hoping that they'd moved on, so that was disappointing. They are terrible for the environment. They dig up everything - all the flora down by the lake - so that it is completely destroyed. That then destroys the system of plants that prevent so much erosion and the the hill above where they've torn everything up starts sliding down into the lake. They also carry diseases which they can leave behind in the soil. Fortunately, we're not growing anything down by the lake (it's owned by the Corps of Army Engineers).

This morning it was a touch cooler than it has been - and there's a nice breeze, so we're thankful for a day that didn't start off with intense heat.

Because of the rain the other day, we've had a number of mushrooms popping up all over. It's surprising to see mushrooms at this time of year here, but there they are.
