Of Fungus and Frogs and Wood and Scrabble

By the time we got situated Mr. Moe was ready for a walk.  Our hosts let us know there was a trail nearby that led to a little rock outcropping.  It was very uphill, but the woods were all kinds of pretty in the evening light.

And then there was the fungus!

It seemed like everywhere I looked down there was a new, pretty variety of mushroom.  Made me want to enroll myself in a mushroom identification class ASAP to learn what they all are for future reference, and--more importantly--which ones could be dinner! 

Oh, and the frog too!  This little guy miraculously jumped in front of both dogs unnoticed, and then safely camouflaged himself on a tree trunk.

After the walk, it was back to the cabin for chores.  We both took a try at splitting some wood for the fire, but Sweet Husband was by far better at it. We both got a good chuckle out of making s'mores on the naughty roasting sticks though!

And when the sun went down and it was too dark to play outside anymore, we retreated to the cabin for dinner and a cut-throat game of Scrabble by lantern light.  (I won two nights out of three!)

Mr Moe must be enjoying the woods so much. It all sounds wonderful where you are staying. Taffy would have his nose to the ground tracking every scent his little nose could find. Molly would b chasing every little animal she could find! Oops.

Oh gosh, both dogs had a great time. Lots of sniffing, lots to explore! Not so many critters to chase though--I think we made enough noise that the smart ones stayed away!
