Appreciation

Heyho2

One of the things I’m trying to do is appreciate the little things. We’ve got those little red toadstools coming up in our garden. I love them. There’s two at the moment.

Heyho2 fairy houses we call them 🙂

Cute - the mushrooms in our garden at the moment look like fungus the bogeyman houses.

So pretty! My little one loves going for walks at the time of the year and looking at the pretty mushrooms 🍄

Our are little ugly brown things. Definitely not photogenic

I took stopped to watch a lovely magpie warbling to me on my walk yesterday - for the same reason @Heyho2 - been trying to make an effort. This thread is a great idea.

I didn’t know those were actually a real thing! I thought they were just in story books. So cool!

I may have squealed the first time I saw them in our garden 😅 . I don’t think I’d seen them in real life before.

I felt the same. We got right into mushroom spotting in lockdown last year. My 9yo revenge did a project in lockdown on them and we watched you tube videos on them. We both still get a thrill seeing the pretty red ones.

I love watching nature through the different seasons. I get a lot of plain mushrooms here. I loved all the wattle trees around October, so amazing.

What a great thread. On Friday night DH and I went out for dinner and we saw a band I like. We haven’t seen live music since December 2019. I was quite overcome and had tears. I witnessed everyone there together enjoying the fabulous music and wow, I truly felt it. The tears were flowing,it was wonderful. I took two videos of the last two songs but I’m not sure if I can upload them? People were happy, they were dancing and enjoying the music. I’ll post the last two tracks here.

Chuppa chups have a new thing out where you get a lolly pop and a tiny little pusheen character. I want to collect them all!

There are definitely fairies under there.

They are toxic. Not sure if they’d kill you though…
