April fool!


I had a rainy weekend, but it’s mighty pretty in the woods. Everything is greening up rapidly. Unfortunately, part of this flush of spring growth involves crawling ticks and buzzing mosquitoes. That orange fungus was a bright beacon against the green backdrop. As usual, I couldn’t find any springtime turkeys; they walk all around me in the fall, when the season is closed. Then, to make matters worse, there was a hen strolling near the highway as I drove back to town. Perhaps that was another part of the April- fools joke on me.
