Sunset Barn & Edible Mushrooms

There is something about the sun coming through the barn in the evening in the summer. It is a warm light and it just gives me a warm feeling to stand in the barn and hear the girls clucking outside and the swallows overhead. I tried to catch a couple shots as I was standing there yesterday...one of the girls, and one of the barn.

Way back when, when I lived in Vermont, I liked to hunt wild mushrooms. Doesn't seem to be as many down here in Kentucky, maybe because we have been under a drought for the past few years. But this year, there have been plenty of mushrooms around, and I have these beauties at Horus Hill. They are Reddening Lepiota, one of three Lepiota's which also includes the Shaggy Parasol and Parasol mushrooms. All three are delicious edibles, and will dry nicely for winter use. But a warning... never eat wild mushrooms unless you know what you are doing.
