not what you think, this;

fragile eggs offering spores

tiny fungus cups

I found these beauties in my garden! I’ve only ever found them one other time in the Yakima Valley. So excited!

How does Hump Day come around so quickly?  The older I get, the faster time flies! Here is my Happy Hump Day Haiku Challenge. I’d love to read yours!

a blizzard in May,

cottonwoods are cottoning;

warm flakes unmelting

~ by Angie Quantrell

 

Welcome to May cottonwood season! No deep breaths, wide open mouths, or keeping fluffs away from your face. Still digging out!

Wednesday is the Happy Hump Day Haiku Challenge! I’d love to read your Haiku, especially if it revolves around nature, kids, or family.

Happy Hump Day!
