The richest people alive

We are flush with chanterelles! Along the tractor path to the southeast of our house, among invasive Japanese stiltgrass are many pounds of bright gold fungus. Zack and I harvested as much as be could before today’s storms rolled through, and there’s plenty more that will ready for picking tomorrow. I suspect we’ll eat lots of them fresh and dry the rest to put up.

Admiring the find

I look forward to a breakfast of eggs, mushrooms, berries, and tea that the Hillstead and I created. Getting to experience these nourishing payoffs has me feeling like we’re really the richest people alive.

    It’s good to hear of your farm life continuing – it must be a lot of work, but it sounds like a lot of reward, too!
