Weekend Photos

When I first spot a morel my heart does a little dance and then I stand very still and look away from it. I look away in search of others in the area before I rush to the scene. Here is a picture of where I was standing when I spotted a morel a few yards away.
Enchiladas with morels. (Well, only the four in the back have morels because 2.5/5 of the family won't eat them.) P will eat them in very small quantity.
I took bunches of pictures while I was in the woods. I liked this one the best.While at M and P's soccer game yesterday, S and his "girlfriend" M o were just hanging out on the bleachers having one of those 3 year old conversations.
This was even cuter in person because the dog was resting her chin on S's sock. Do dogs have chins?

  3. A dog might ask, 'Do you think that humans have muzzles?' A pig... 'Do you think that humans have snouts?' Elephants... 'Do humans have trunks? You see the humor in asking if dogs have chins? This is called anthropomorphism and it reflects an anthropocentric worldview.

  4. anonymous...quote "You see the humor in asking if dogs have chins?" the humor is actually when you add in the anthropomorphic side of it.....not asking from the human point of view. it is imagining a dog, pig, and elephant that can actually talk to ask those questions. in here. forwards. blog there is no humor in him/her asking if dogs have chins, or if chickens have lips, or if fish have ears.............

  5. Very true, dc nick - the anthropomorphism is in the statement that "the dog was resting her chin on S's sock" and not in the question. Still, very humorous to me.

  6. I LOVE your morel picture!! And I had never once thought of making enchiladas with them. What a wonderful idea! (of course one has to find enough for the recipe.) Do lots grow near where you live? P.S. hopefully there will still be morels growing when I get back home from NYC...

  7. centria- We get quite a few in our area (northestern Illinois) depending on the weather. I found about 29 good sized ones in 90 minutes. I mix chicken in with the morels and then fill the enchiladas. Mmmm.
