Camping etc.

When Erica was here we purchased the rose above...It is Joseph's Coat and has roses from white to dark red. It is spectacular and I am so please with it. The real trick will be to keep the bloomin' bush alive.

Now these mushrooms are from one of our marvelous adventures from the weekend camping trip. We take as many trips to the forest as we can during the short season and always take a few side trips. Living near or practically on the Continental Divide, we are only 30 minutes from some of the most beautiful country in the US. This jaunt was a short walk, about a mile or so up to North Spring Lake. Camping with good friends, we go to this lake frequently. These fungi were so large, and they were growing in the old road. Crazy!!! Evenings brought the marshmallows out and this time we had an old-fashioned popcorn popper. Nothing like a little burnt marshmallow dipped in popcorn....a small popcorn ball!!! Fall is in the air and our camping trips will soon come to a halt. Do you ever grow too old for s'mores. Nah, I don't think so. Besides isn't chocolate supposed to be good for you?
