Surviving Minnesota!

[holm25]

Hi my sister is a new member to BYC and I got ahold of here account ( with her permission of course ). LOL and was reading you collect morels and always wanted to collect morels. But every time I go out looking for them I seem to have missed the season. I live in battle lake MN near Fargo ND and was wandering if you had any tips.

Also we are heading to the spring tri county exotic animal and bird auction in Fergus falls MN and was wandering if any fellow minnesotian's was heading that way for the auction.

Cant help with the question but do u breed Sumatras?!

Welcome to BYC! I'm afraid I don't know anything about morels. I'm sure there are a few minnesotans going to a event in minnesota.

Jk, what kinds of birds do they have there generally?

Ralphie, I used a better flashlight, and all 10 of the eggs that I set from you are developing. Today is day 7.

Ralphie, there you have it! As Jerry wrote Morels need warm days and warm nights are a plus. Those conditions do not exist at my place or near Togo except in a rare case.
You know the old adage " it is colder by the lake". On a positive note Lake Superior does provide free air conditioning in summer. Summer is usually some day in July.

Guess what, no not "chicken butt". It snowed again last night, but the forecast high for today is a balmy 28 degrees. The Banana Belt sounds more inviting all the time.

It's snowing here now

everthing is covered in white, I saw the sun about 15 mins ago just for 2 seconds.

Little snowflakes here too, but not enough to make it white.

Erli you and I will have to start popping vit D supplement pills again. This ridiculous. White tufts on my lawn again. Every day this week. It melts during the day. Small blessings! But I need some sunshine and warm up. Lots of lakes are out here. Some of the bigger ones hanging on though. For the most part we are 2 weeks ahead traditional ice outs. Usually you start seeing liquid about the third week of April up here.

Those warm spring showers do make morels pop up.

It's Friday. Woot. DH is heading to the rainy river to rip some lips. And I have two kids and not one thing scheduled. Will take them up to visit the folks Saturday and bask in my moms cooking and laugh with my funny dad. Can't wait.

Sounds like an excellent weekend ahead!
