… in the deep south of Alabama, where the mushrooms and misses are wild.

“Below are some of the pics I took after parking our ‘river car’ over the other side of the bridge . We are on an isle and the waters can rise from both sides. Sooooo….we all go over the bridge and park during such times.”

(JH: I need to point out that Bama, plus across Mississippi, has just had a hurricane come through and though the main brunt missed Toodles and family, the storm waters still rose and threatened to flood them.)

“It has been so wet and humid that mushrooms/toadstools are out making statements. Near where I parked was that big one with keys and that sandal you see. The sandal is big. It is clunkier than it looks. It is good for walking through wet and mushy grass and puddles! That mushroom was huge(and so attractive ).

 Once I crossed the bridge I noted that my neighbor had some on her property too. They are not as smooth as the other one and rather interestingly ugly. ‘Cept the little one….the single one in the grass is cute.”

“Now these are not meant to be posted . I don’t care but that is not why I am sending so do feel free to delete because it takes up space. 

And yes that shoe had mud on it but got more muddy today. Things look fine at the river but am glad we did get things put and tucked away….in case you didn’t pick up on that. The water line was pretty high. Several feet and covered the dock. Normally our dock does not get covered.”
