As Winnie the Pooh would say "Oh Bother!"

"Oh Bother!"
That is what I said two weeks ago when I found out I was a no-reply blogger.
I switched to Google+ back in the spring of 2013. I had no idea when I did that, my profile changed and I became a no-reply blogger.
Annoying! I know.
Many of you told me too...And I thank you.
Each time someone mentioned it to me, I peeked at my settings and all looked okay.
"What is going on?" I would say!

Think, think, think.
I finally fixed my no - reply blogger problem. 
I am sorry it took me so long.

Thank you to all of you who were patient with me during this time.

Funny on Sunday

 
We visited the orthodontist this week. Look who was greeting us.
I thought this was so fun and clever of our orthodontist.
Come to find out, this was going to be his last day out...he was starting to look kinda of done inside.

Happy Sunday

Giant Puffball

  Giant Puffball is found in Wisconsin
On our daily walk we noticed an odd looking thing in the woods. At first I thought it was an old ball. To our surprise we found a giant puffball. We have found several little puff balls. And they are always fun to poke and watch the smoke come out of them. I had no idea they could grow the size of a basketball!

Did you know you can eat puffball?
When its meat is solid and white, it can make a very good food! Come to find out, my grandpa use to eat them. How about you, have you come across a giant  puffball? 
Have you eaten  puffball?



 
My aunt Sally shared with me, she found a giant puffball when she was little, with her sister. They decided to kick it. It was all green inside and it squished out all kinds of icky green on to her shoes and socks. 
Something I know my boys would love to do with this giant puffball.

Have a great weekend!
