Here’s a weird looking mushroom I saw in Winchester yesterday: Danger! Do not sample! Sample may cause DEATH.

Blodgett was querying whether November was a bit cold and dreary to go walking. Most assuredly not! This time of year is wonderful for walking. And not too cold as long as you go fast enough. Although you have to be careful not to get caught out in the dark. Today I went for a [...]
