Greetings to you today! While on a walk on Monday, I happened to see these fungi underneath a tree. Now, we often see mushrooms in the lawn, but I've never seen this site before. In fact, it reminded me of a Fairie garden that many girls and ladies create. I just thought it was enchanting, but not enough to let the dogs near it.

I am aware of how dangerous mushrooms can be to dogs and children, as my oldest daughter scared her momma to death when she was a toddler. I was never sure if she ate the mushroom, but at 2 yrs old, one doesn't take chances. I so remember having to use Syrup of Epapac and trying to get her to vomit. I remember crying and feeling like such a bad mom; I can say that she didn't have any in her stomach thankfully. Even though I admired the uniqueness of this patch of fungi, I do prefer the plastic ones.
On another subject, I wonder if any of you who lose followers to your blog, wonder about those who have left. I have yet to figure out who has left, just see my numbers drop and wish I knew who and why.  Life gets so crazy and I try to get around to visit, but often don't-I'd just hate to lose friends if I could avoid it.  Guess it's just the world of blogging.
I hope you have a wonderful day and have signs of autumn in your area.
Blessings,
Noreen

His Creation

Yesterday hubby and I went for a drive; the weather has been so incredible here and I had to get out in nature.  Everything around me shouts His Name and I marvel at the beauty here.

Up north, near Princeville; there is a lighthouse and animal sanctuary where you can see the birds of prey and view the coastline for miles.  Although we saw a couple of whales on Saturday, the ranger told us that there were none in this area.

Everywhere you look, you see fruit-bananas, coconuts, pineapples and other delicious fruits. 

Many of the birds at the sanctuary were nesting. 

Today hubby and his friends are playing golf and the girls will shop, have lunch and sit by the pool; what more could you want? 

Have a great day dear ones.  Noreen

Outdoor Wednesday

 One of the wonderful things about our area is the Pelicans that arrive in the spring and stay until fall.  We've wanted to get a photo of one landing but so far haven't been able to.

The numbers are dwindling but we spotted these guys on our bike ride the other day.  We also saw an eagle last week but didn't have our camera...bummer. 
I'm walking in a few minutes and then hubby and I will be going on a ride later this morning. 
Have a wonderful day!  Noreen
