B Garden is quiet.   it's been a while of RAIN TIME that i haven't gone there.   it seemed very still.  but an odd humming vibration…don't know how else to describe.  the new bed is decomposing.  its rich and dark.   next a few Rain days and then i can take the last layer of manure and scrap feed.   February is planting time.   Be sure to double click the pic.  I found them just like this…like friends.

    Do you know what kind of mushrooms they are?

    The mushrooms and pinecone are related in color and complexity, but also so delightfully different…hard versus soft, growing versus declining (slowly)…growing up versus having fallen from above…the fruiting body versus the seed pod. I love thinking of them as friends.
    Happy New Year Grace.

    Love this photo; speaks to me of promise and I can smell the wet, the earthiness of mushroom and I find it all calming yet also tingling with anticipation as February comes…seeds in the ground.
    On my little table in the living room, my Spanish reed basket filled with pine cones from places we have lived, red dried Chile peppers, one tiny pine branch and dried orange slices, I will keep this on the table for a while, my favorite holiday offerings.
    Took a peek under the protective covering of our plants on the patio table: Egyptian walking onions seem halted, not growing but hanging on, just maintaining in the bitter, bitter cold that we are experiencing. If they survive, I will be so grateful and if they do not, just to experience them for as long as I have has been a deep joy AND I will order more. Supposedly you plant in the fall to reap in the spring but this cold is unlike other years so we wait and we hope and we enjoy them for what they are in this moment. Thank you grace for this experience.

    First thing I noticed was the frilly mushrooms. Ruffles on the earth. When I zoomed in, what caught my attention was that the “petals” of the evergreen cone look like birds’ talons, though I suppose now, they could also be cats’ claws.
