quiet day

I drove home after the Lammas festival last night so that I could wake up in my own bed, and get outside before the rain started. It was grey and overcast, but I headed down to the woods anyway, where it was mostly quiet. The water wasn't as high as I expected, after all the rain we had this week, but it was rather brown.

There were lots and lots of fungi, but most of my pix didn't come out because it was so dark under the trees. There were some pretty purple mushrooms I would have liked to have gotten pictures of. I did get some of the traffic-cone orange ones, and a few others, but my camera doesn't like fungi very much. I'm not sure that it knows what to do with them. *g*

It started to sprinkle after a while, so I headed for home. It was just as well, since all this rain has produced a bumper crop of mosquitoes. Also gnats, which seem to have Kamikaze tendencies: one flew right into my eye! Stupid bug.

When it started to rain harder, I decided to lay down for a bit, and woke up about an hour and a half later. Oops! I guess I needed it.

I plan to make blueberry pancakes for supper, and watch disc 2 of Torchwood: Children of Earth. I hope it's as entertaining as disc 1 was. So far, it's rocked.

All in all, it's been a nice way to spend my birthday. Just as I'd planned. :)
