some days things just click!

Today was going to be a town trip but my eye drop prescription wasn't in so we decided to take a hike instead as this was a nice cool kinda sunny day.
We found loads of oyster mushrooms on our 4 mile hike and saw young ones worth coming back for in a few days...then when back to town the chipper was on our street so we asked and they delivered a huge load with more to come...nice guys backed in right next to our big garden and said we'd have to tell them when to stop delivering🙃
That brought a neighbor out who wondered if we would like some deer meat so now we have a large bag of this seasons deer for the winter.

I feel grateful (and exhausted) for so much abundance in one day!

and I almost forgot my thanksgiving cactus is blooming for the first time ever!

more 'abundant day' stories to share?

Wow, Judith, you have had a totally awesome day!

Sorry, no story to add today - cold rain, so I'll work on some sewing presents I have started.

`how awesome!!! and what are you going to do with those oyster mushrooms?

Today was supposed to be an all-day-in-the-garden-planting day, but the weather was sketchy and some paid work popped up, so I did the fruit and veg shopping this morning and spent the rest of the day doing some prep cooking (passata for tomato sauce tomorrow, roasted marinated tofu, dal for breakfast...). I did manage to prune one of the passionfruits and put in some cucumber seeds when nobody was looking and I had ten minutes.
Tonight is my work-and-craft night, so I will work for a few hours to finish that paid work and then do some sewing, i have some things that need mending.

what are you going to do with those oyster mushrooms?

I sauted some for lunch and the rest are in the dehydrator...there were many more than what's in the photo.
If we get another round I might saute and freeze a few.

I wish I was a more inspired cook...I love gathering garden produce, herbs and wild harvesting...making ferments and things but I lose interest when it's time to put a meal together with all of those lovely ingredients...

Totally wondrous, thanks for sharing those yummy mushrooms, pretty Christmas flowers and that load of wood chips.

I was just looking at Christmas Cactus at the store today.  I wish that store would put the flower shop in a location where I see treasures before I pay for the groceries ...
