[Half/Stop]

Enjoy your coffee Ron Cool pic of your Big 'Un

Thank you Jack!

60. Took the day off. Going on a bike ride shortly, then lunch with my wife. Having a nice dinner here later--filet mignon, roasted garlick mashed potatoes, and zucchini with anchovies and capers, lemon cake. Plenty of good wine. Best of all, several of my children and a couple of grandchildren will be here.

You’re a blessed 60 Vince! You’ve definitely got your priorities in order my friend! Enjoy your family!

Not much. Still in lockdown, nothing open and cannot travel, so just taking it easy..

My invitation must be held up in the mail due to the corona backlog with all the mail.

Young pups.
A malapropish friend of my mother's used to speak of "Life's millstones" instead of "milestones".
Happy birthday cudgee , too.

Pretty good balancing for an old coot, if I say so myself.

Good Afternoon Guardians
One of nature's practical jokes?
My wife called from the front porch last evening that there was a foul odor and smelled of rotting meat. I reminded her that we've been blessed the last couple years with the infamous stinkhorn mushroom, I suspect originated with a load of mulch I bought a few years back.
I have included the Lambsfoot for scale and a bit of info below. Anyone else dealt with these and gotten rid of them?

Phallus impudicus, known colloquially as the common stinkhorn, is a widespread fungus recognizable for its foul odor and its phallic shape when mature, the latter feature giving rise to several names in 17th-century England. It is a common mushroom in Europe and North America, where it occurs in habitats rich in wood debris such as forests and mulched gardens. It appears from summer to late autumn. The fruiting structure is tall and white with a slimy, dark olive colored conical head. Known as the gleba, this material contains the spores, and is transported by insects which are attracted by the odor—described as resembling carrion. Despite its foul smell, it is not usually poisonous and immature mushrooms are consumed in parts of France and Germany. However, in recent times, deaths of small or immature dogs have been
reported after consumption of the mature fruiting body.

If it likes acidity, maybe some lime would discourage it.
Mercifully for me, I've no experience with them.

My full retirement age is at 66, which I am now. They paid me to retire at 63 and I sure as heck didn’t get mad about it! It gave me many more opportunities to carry a Lambsfoot! I hope y’all have a great day!

And to visit places like this!
