Cabin Refrigerator
I can’t believe it has been a month since I posted anything to the web site! How time flies!
We have been spending every weekend at the cabin. The weather has cooperated, allowing us access throughout January. Here is a photo of our “cabin refrigerator”.

Catey Coyote
This weekend, at the cabin, we had a new visitor to the bird feeders—a coyote. We think it was a young female and we named her “Catey”. When she first visited, she did not come to the feeder, but circled it in a wide circle, then disappeared into the woods. But, about a half-hour later, she showed up at the feeder, eating the corn and peanuts that were scattered on the ground. She stayed around for almost an hour, while we took some photos and video. We made lots of noise the next time we took the dogs out for a walk!

Agaricus Silvicola—For Breakfast
There were fewer mushrooms at the cabin than we expected on Labor Day weekend. Still, Lynne found a patch of these beautiful agaricus silvicola.
We chopped this one up and had it as a part of a bacon and cheese omelette on Sunday morning. For another photo, click “More…”

Agaricus Amicosus Omelette
We had our second experience eating wild mushrooms found on the cabin property this weekend.
Lynne found a big beautiful agaricus amicosus on Friday afternoon. We were sure of the identification since we had one identified at the mushroom festival in Denver last weekend. So, on Saturday morning, we cooked up some bacon and crumbled it. Then, in a couple of teaspoons of the bacon grease we cooked the sliced mushroom. I then made a big omelette stuffed with bacon crumbles, the mushroom, and some cheese.
It was great! And, we are still here to talk about it!
