Pretty soon it won't be early August any more, and time races by. Here are some pictures around the place.

This giant puffball is on the edge of our back yard. It is solid right now, and I think they are edible: slice and fry in butter, but I don't plan to try it.



Newly-mown lawn. We've been getting some rain every day, so it's looking as good as it can.



This is our patio. The cover is from an A&W Rootbeer stand - where they parked the cars. It's very low maintenance.

The river coalition people were talking about having a potluck, and I volunteered my place, but the whole time they have been bickering about when, I've been praying it won't work out, and we'll just have the usual regular meeting without food.



Big Mushroom up behind the house next door.



Up close - they are a big as a dinner plate. The ground squirrels nibbled off the side there. I suppose that means this kind is edible, but I don't plan to find out.
