Give and Take
I recently had another gopher attack taking out all but one of my cabbages, the remaining carrots, and even my dill which I have never had eaten before. Anyway, imagine my surprise when I went out yesterday to an old woodpile that was disintegrating and found pounds of honey mushrooms growing. I used to pick these as a teenager with my Dad and uncles in the hills of Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, we always had to be careful about copperhead snakes which we encountered not infrequently near the down trees. That's not a problem where I now live.
