From the first batch of 'shrooms, my friend made soup:
Here's my 2nd harvest starting:
First couple from that batch (overly) ready for picking (plus Dilly):
Rest of the 2nd batch continuing to grow:
Now ready to pick:
Picked!:
Last lonely mushroom I got:
Ready for picking:
Now my mushroom growing fun is over. What's next?
No really, she doesn't always look like this:
One of her new favorite sleeping spots:
Aww, best friends?
Dilly's favorite toy (yes, that's one of those plastic spider rings and she will "play fetch" with it):
She now has four of them:
Ginger's new friend (yes, that's the biggest Eeyore I own now):
Can't see the National Cathedral today:
The most snow my car has ever seen...partially b/c it spent the first 3 years of its life in Phoenix:
The advantage of not working on Mondays, or having class...means I got to go walk around in the snow. Kids sledding near Calvert Street in Rock Creek Park:
Double wipeout:
Pretty Rock Creek:
Very confused robin:
Start of the C&O Canal in Georgetown:
Geese on the Potomac:
Deepest snow drifts I could find, by the Kennedy Center:
With all the seagulls, looks like the beach:
Sun starting to set on the Mall:
Sunset over the Potomac:
Sunset at the Lincoln Memorial:
Here's what it looked like:
The first little 'shrooms started appearing a few days later:
You can see one now:
Dilly is very interested in what's in the box:
They've grown significantly in just a few days:
Ready to pick the first one on Feb 12th:
For size reference...that's a dime:
Only got three this round, but the 2nd round is already starting to pop through the surface.
You can see the people at the overlook on the MD side:
Dam for the Washington Aqueduct intake (where DC gets its drinking water):
Yup, that's a picnic table in the tree...remnants of the last flood?
(in the background, you can see how much of the river was frozen over)
by the Washington Monument:
by the Old Post Office:
even way up in Adams Morgan:
