Mushrooms
It has been a spectacular year for wild mushrooms, even here inland. Today I went to a friend's property near the coast and was able to get some great ones: Yellow foot, chanterelles, and hedge hogs. Yum. Now on to the cleaning.
Foxes and Bears and Apples, Oh My!
My son-in-law picked up the many windfall apples and carted them away down at the edge of our property a few weeks ago. Several days later, on my walk, I came across a huge pile of bear poop. It was near the apples and of course, consisted of apples. So I set up the trail cam and caught the culprit. Luckily, the apples are far away from the house and now, after rain and weather, not much is left. But I caught the bear and a fox and quite a few deer on the camera. Cool to know these animals are out there, but not harming anything.
