Post a photo of your pet and an explanation of what they would sell if they ran a tiny store.

This is Kyssa. She would sell blankets, all the better to stay in bed till 1 pm.

She would not sell food. All food belongs to her.
A small brindle dog with a long nose and large hound eyes. She is resting her head on a duvet with pillows behind her. Only her head and the edge of one paw is visible. The rest of her is under a blanket.

Cowl of Sauron is almost done, just needs to be seamed together and blocked.

When will I do that? Hopefully before the next time it snows!
An almost finished knitted neck cowl. The pattern looks like the eye of Sauron. This picture shows both the outside and the inside, which haven’t been sown together yet. An almost finished knitted neck cowl. The pattern looks like the eye of Sauron.

Maybe we'll be lucky and it will give us Sexy Smeagol? Bring on Donato on as an art consultant!

Got the job and got pizza!

Difficult to take a picture when the mushroom is 10 feet above you - very rude! 🍄📷

Such a tall majestic creature I saw yesterday! And completely unfazed by my existence.

All the times this winter where I needed to drive in bad snowstorms to get to appointments have conditioned me to see heavy snow and want to drive somewhere in it.

A shy little mushroom peeking out from some grass 🍄📷

Probably A. flavorubescens, though it might have been a yellow fly agaric, which are everywhere in the area.
A mushroom with a round yellow cap with pale yellow spots. It sits between leaf litter and thin blades of grass.

A very large mushroom! Spotted on yesterday’s hike - any #fungifriends know what it is?

Gloomy and bleak out today - and drizzling - but surprisingly pretty and a pleasant walk!

A hilly and *very* muddy walk today, but I saw some pretty shelf mushrooms!
