Two dogs playing with the same small stick.


Also, these honey mushrooms were accidentally kicked up from next to the shed. Some more have come up there, and a bunch others are going to be covered with snow in a few hours. This mushroom comes from a fungus that parasitizes the roots of trees. In this case, the roots in question belong to trees that are no longer there. I like to think that they are the roots of the fruit trees that the original owners of the land planted back at the turn of the century. Maybe that's why the trees are gone?

All the pear trees in Toronto got a blight this year. The advice I received on how to deal with it for next year (we got NO PEARS at all this year where as I usually get 3 baskets full) makes me exhausted enough to consider cutting it down.

Fruit trees are very vulnerable it seems, although to be fair this one has given us great harvests for almost 25 years.
