a break from the rain...

We're finally getting a little break from the rain.  Not sure if it's coming back later on today -- so I took advantage and went outside for a bit.  There's some creepy stuff going on out there.  Ick!  I found a toad at the bottom of the pool (sorry, no photo), and these guys floating on top...



And, I don't even know what to make of this stuff.  I usually call them "the fingers of death" -- but today they are just disgusting...


Maybe I should just stay inside... :-)

  1. Oh, yukkkkk. What the heck are those things anyway? I have some strange things eating my lawn also. You are right, those are pretty scary. I am getting to the point also where I don't even want to go outside for fear of what I am going to find lurking in the grass and on the stone walls. So, what are they anyway???

  2. Ha ha ha! They are some kind of creepy mushroom that I never saw until we moved here. Up until now I've only seen them in the areas with mulch -- but they're spreading to the grass in that section. I'm going to have to get out my "mean" mushroom killing tools and get rid of them.

  3. Oh, I would have never guessed. I actually
    thought they were some kind of worms. Thanks for the clarification.
