I just found out that my birds love stale graham crackers!!! I've also caught that babies venturing into the big coop. I'm wondering if they will eventually start roosting in there on their own.

Morels, right?

I've been getting a bunch lately, it's time

I wasn't going to replace the lost bee hives this year but I have changed my mind.
A summer without bees is just winter.


And winter was bad. I didn't even tap trees for syrup.

Even though winter was warm the sap flow was outstanding. I made more this year than ever. Now I have surpluses back to 2014. Probably bring some to Chicken Stock as usual. Bring some honey we'll trade

Morels, right?

As long as they are hollow yes.

Bob, sorry to hear you were in the hospital. Hope you're feeling better now.

Sounds like that girl might have had fatty liver, that does make them very unhealthy.

Wow look at those nice white morels!

Thanks. You guessed and spot on. I didn't have to harvest her at all. She had a beer belly and thats it, which was a byproduct of her fatty liver - or brown liver. I think I could of reversed that with an optimal diet over a few weeks isolated focus. Well now I know what I'm looking at.

I want to find morels too here in NMI. Looking desperately in scientific theoretically optimal locations with zero success. I'm glad they are white. I'm going to look anywhere now cuz all the reading recommendations have failed like most aggregate conclusions. The morel readings are like a deception campaign. Heck, just buy 'm right? LoL...

what? not sitting at the base of a dead elm or popal tree following the root system? wow, looks like in the yard amongst some pine needles and grass. i normally don't look there either - LoL. good luck with your morels...very nice!

I found 2 grocery bags of morels full right in my 'lawn' one year.

That must have been very nice. We planted some. Lets see if it works (spores). $32 for a box of spores. We'll see.
