Chanterelles!

[Chanterelle, rinsed and ready to dry]

Today was the day I've been waiting for: the start of chanterelle season in our little valley. I only found one small patch and most of these were buried, but it's a start! It was almost dark before I even made it to the forest.

There isn't enough to eat so I'm drying them until there is. I'll chop the least appetizing specimens and use them to inoculate suitable areas closer to the cabins.

I should be done tying on the navy blue warp and be started weaving it by Tuesday. I can't wait! That cloth is going to be beautiful.
