I don't have a word for this...

Here is my handy dandy itty bitty soldier who looks like he has been smoking 'grass' sitting next to some tiny white slime mold.

I kept moving the stick with the white stuff on it to try and get a better shot of it. Next time I will remember to drop a dime in my pocket to set next to the stuff I am photographing for a size reference.

I went back out to the wooded pasture to see what the Shotgun Slime Mold/Fungi had done. It did as its name promised. It 'shot' out its spores which are on the blades of grass. The spores await for the next opportunity to grow. I think this is pretty fascinating.

I went looking for the Coral Slime mold/fungi and it was gone! So I guess it did its thing and poof, disappeared. 

So I scoured the Buckthorn Forest floor and looked for cool things while checking the electric lines. [Damn deer, knocked a hot wire off the insulator!]

Cinquefoil flower with an ant on it. 

The forest delight, Columbine.

Lady Bug on an invasive species that I happen to sort of like and hate at the same time, Oxeye Daisy.

I was really surprised to find just this lone fungi. 

Had there been enough rain and humidity? 

And this was a surprise after not finding other mushrooms or fungi.

I won't even pretend to have any idea of what their names are.

Flowers and Mules

Here is some of the fencing after I have spent hours cleaning weeds from below it. The three lines keep the small Dexter cattle from climbing under the fence. I think I could modify this, but right now I won't make adjustments.
I will have to resort to some 'brush' spray as the berry briers and multiflora rose bushes insist on growing into the electric lines.

I did a section and quit. I can only do so much per day. I have to go deeper into the woods and repair a rather large section. But not until I finish what is already set up. The new/old section is above the creek, I have to take down the line and then put up new wire and in spots move the posts.

After supper I grabbed another mule, Mica, and we went for a cruise.

I am taking each of the riders out for their Spring time tune up. Memorial weekend will arrive and the grands will want to go riding. I want to make sure all riding mules are ready and willing.

Mica found Blood Roots!

Who says you can't take a decent shot with a point and shoot pocket camera???

I rode Sunshine the day before. She was in a major need of a mane trim.

Both mules didn't really need any tuning up at all. They both did exactly what as asked of them and did it willingly.

I sure do love our mules.

And that is that.

Wild flowers, not what you'd expect.

Poison Ivy wildflower.

Leaves of three...leave them be!

And there is the Cinquifoil weed with its pretty yellow flower.

Oh and an unknown flower with spider...

Last but not least, the Beautiful Wild Geranium with rain droplets.

That is it for today.  
We have mud mud and sticky mud.  Our dry spell has ended and we now have warm temps and high humidity along with a lot of rain.

Last night I built a sidewalk out of scrap plywood so we could enter the house without wading through sticky clay.

Have a wonderful day, our farrier will be coming soon, time to go catch critters!
