This picture was taken over 2 years ago and when I look back at the pictures of the garden, I can see just how much has changed and how the climate has changed. My cloud shows me photos of the day’s past each morning. Yesterday, I was shocked to see that last year at this time, it was snowing. This year, who knows when that will happen. The ski resorts were supposed to open this week but had to be delayed due to the lack of snow, or so the news says.

Meanwhile, all the deciduous trees in my backyard dropped its leaves simultaneously last week and with the rain that came a few days ago, everything is still sopping wet. I suppose I will just have to hand-scoop the leaves and pile onto the soil to be used as mulch.

Having been gardening for a few years now, I love seeing mushrooms in the garden and anywhere. Mushrooms are my friends. They are present when there is something to decompose. I couldn’t believe how much mushroom I saw in the garden last year, especially in the asparagus bed. Alas, I didn’t take a picture of them. I found these big fellas near a pond when I visited the mountains a few years ago but you get the idea. I hope to have more mushroom in the spring since I scattered a whole 5-pound bag of mushroom spawn earlier this year.

Okay, enough brown, let’s do gray. I don’t like just any gray skies but first, I should clarify. There is photogenic gray skies and non-photogenic gray skies. This is the photogenic kind of gray sky. The non-photogenic kind is what I’ve been experiencing the last few days. It does not make me want to leave the house. On the other hand, this gray sky makes my photos so much more unique and special.

Do you think so?
