We grow 'em big

For some reason, mushrooms grow in our back lawn. I wish we knew if they were edible, but as we don't know, we are not eating them. This particular one caught our attention on Sunday afternoon because of its tremendous size. Actually, Eric thought it was a baseball at first. It kind of reminds me of those big "golf ball" towers at Buckley AFB.

Then this morning... less than 48 hours later, it had opened and was even bigger! Now it reminds me of the canopy on a children's ride at the fair.

And as long as I was out there, I decided to take some pictures of the flowers. This one, I think, makes a stellar wallpaper. :-)
