Road Trip

Yesterday Glen and I went on a little road trip to Weston, Mo.  It is a fun/quaint little town.  The first thing we did was eat.  Glen did a little research and decided we needed to eat Here.  We both ordered the O’Malley sandwich…. “Signature sandwich slathered with Corned Beef, Swiss Cheese and Marinated Slaw on grilled Marble Rye Bread with Spicy Brown Mustard, offered with a mound of Pub Fries“.  It was abso-freaking-lutely fantastic!  Naturally since we were at a brewery we had to try out their beer. Glen opted for the O’Malley stout and I had the 1842 Porter.  Both were quite tasty!   Afterwards, we waddled our way to the Pirtle Winery, (check it out here).  We tasted a few wines, the best being a Traminette.  They also have fantastic meads.  The rest of the afternoon consisted of walking up and down Main Street checking out the many little shops in town.

One of the stores we went in was a home interior/taxidermy store.  Glen really liked this squirrel.

On our way home, we went to the Weston Bend State Park.  It is a gorgeous park with walking trails.

Walking along the trail we found large fungus growing on a rotted log.

Lookout point….wish the trees were further along in changing colors.  Still a great view!

Surprising Garden Sprouting

Glen informed me that we had things growing in our garden already.  So I grabbed the camera and trekked out to the garden.  We have a village of fungus.

Fungus Amongus

This summer has been unusual.  Unusual in that we have not had any days over 100 degrees and we have had rain in late July into August.  Not that I am complaining, it is just that this time of year it is usually very hot and dry.  With all the recent rains, it has been very muggy though.  Perfect conditions for fungus.  Glen took these pictures the other day.  It was a good thing he did, because they were gone by late afternoon when I got home from work.  They are so delicate looking, I am amazed that they are able to support themselves.  I also love, love, love the droplets of water on the blades of grass.

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
