Dave, calling Dave!

Read your d-mail,
Will be sending more.

Thanks Kassy!

Your welcome Dave ^_^

Going to the forty today.....BF is taking a gun along just in case that bear is around.
Maybe I should ask him if I can hold the gun...............LOTFL

I hope the gun is for scaring the bear away. If you shoot a bear, the bear will get very angry!

I bet if Kassy sees the bear first it will be a toss up as to who is angriest....grin. We have a new thread Dave, I don't think you will have any trouble finding it....Grin

Oh, Good morning, Dave.

Aloha kakahiaka, Jean!

Well Dave, we went to the forty today.................
They must grow things big here, this was crossing the road as we were on the way there.

We waited for you there Dave

OH wait, this is the first thing I saw when I got out of the truck.

This is the second thing..............LOL

They seem to like it out there, but it looks like something tasted that one

The Bear claws still showed up on the side of the trailer from where he had ripped at some of the siding.

This is the back of the back. I put a black mark around where he had his paws on it there.

Then we saw someone else was trying to get in too!!!

Boy, we sure have some colorfull toadstools out there!

And another one.

Then we started looking around.

To be continued tomorrow.
Being kicked off the computer :(

Don't eat those Mushrooms!

The first two look like Death Angels, Amanita.

#1 might be Amanita mormorata, the Death Cap. One bite can kill a full grown adult.

# 2 & 5 is Amanita muscaria the Fly Agaric Mushroom. It is poisonous as well, and their toxicity can vary. A mild intoxication results in delirium & hallucinations, a large one will kill.

# 3 ?

# 4 looks like a Boletus or Suillus. Bolete type Polypores; they may or may not be poisonous.

BF would be right in this case; don't eat the Mushrooms!

Glad he is there to protect you.

dave always looking out for everybody!

Hi Trina!

Howdy! how was your trip into town?

very cool pics, Kassy, thank you for venturing where some of us (ok me) do not dare go ;) I don't think those were paw prints, I think it was malakai!

A generalization, but helpful....amanita death angel mushrooms tend to turn blue when cut....not all of them, but most of them....better rule of thumb....only eat what you KNOW is safe....if someone insists a mushroom is safe, let them eat it first....grin

good one one Moon

LOL Jean, why do you think I didn't touch the puffballs for sooooooooooooooo long. Remember, I have been coming to my BF's house for almost 5 years now.

Dave, no worries! I would never take any of the mushrooms from the Forty!! Not sure if I would even take a puff ball from out there if I found one!
Number 3 is just a side shot of number 2. I wasn't about to run out there to take more pictures.............LOL
Honest, I didn't even touch them!

Oh Lynn, it's going to get better! And I'm pretty use to walking around in a woods. My Dad had a Forty at one time to and I use to go there, and we always had woods near by at Mom's. That's where I would find May Flowers ^_^
Now without a gun, I wouldn't go! Were no bare sitings back then, but have been a lot of them now.

OK here goes more.

Here we were following a dear path. Boy, a number of them must go down it.

As you can see, he has lots of trees!

Kassy your making me want to go to my other property, but I can't get hubby to go there! Gonna take kids there this spring though...can't wait!

Always knew you were a wise woman with a strong sense of self preservation Kassy....GRIN

We have to make a trip back there in the sping too. I think we will find a lot more then we did, but I wouldn't find the colorful toadstools then I don't think.

Lots of ferns out there too!

Ferns? I heard ferns...that means plants....wow do I have a plant addiction or what?

You bet Jean ;-)

Ferns and some small pines

I wonder if they have a 12 step program for plant addicts?

Yes you do trina.......LOL

LOL trina

Welll don't ever let them tell you that moss only grows on the north side of the tree.
Out there, it grows everywhere!!

well you need plants to get oxygen right?

and since i'm a nasty smoker I figure I have to have twice as many plants...

and since hubby smokes too then I gotta have 4 times as many

and my 19 year old smokes so that makes 6 times as many

and then 4 other kids...so I need 10 times as many as everyone else to make up for them

and then if you double that...that makes 20 times as many just to come close to our "carbon footprint" Right?

12 Steps for Plant Addicts...the pavers between the plants....

LOL Lynnie....oh wait I don't think I left any paths in my front garden...at least not intentionally!

Look at the size of those ferns trina ;-)
