Friday, 7:45 AM. 37 degrees, wind W, calm. The channel is calm. The sky is mostly gray and threatens rain, even though the barometer predicts clear skies (the barometer predicts weather about twelve hours in advance). It is a very dark, almost brooding morning.Yesterday's daffodil planting was a great success and very efficient, 5,000 bulbs being planted in approximately 30 man-hours of labor, excluding prep and clean-up time and supervision and travel time.
The mushrooms pictured are Suillus luteus, slippery Jack, in the Boletailes, they are a pore mushroom. They are pretty common, growing almost exclusively under or near white pine trees. They are very viscid when wet, thus the common name. The references say they are edible but they certainly are unapetizing.
