i can't believe i slept until 11 am this morning.
i haven't done that since i was a teenager.
caerie's still asleep too.

there was a lot of rain earlier in the week and last weekend,
so this weekend we'll be skipping through the forest lands looking for mushrooms for to eat.

coming off this nasty drought, i'm still doubtful there's going to be anything up there, but after all that rain, there MUST be something.

c. gets upset at things that don't go his way (yet again)

our mushroom forays were a complete, stunning, devastating bust.

as much as it rained last weekend, i find it stultifying that there was not a single, solitary cap anywhere.

we went to Hell Canyon Road, which is right near us, then we drove up to Mt. Meeker area, near Allenspark. the ground was so dry, it seemed as though it hadn't rained for years. i dug down several inches into the soil -- dry as a bone. the ground crinkled and cracked as i walked on it.

i would have to say that all hope for a mushrooming season this year died today.
