To recap…erev went well, then Stacey got to be initiated into The City Museum experience, while I went home.

Last night I “slept” over, i.e. didn’t sleep much.  The kids were all out at the annual Friendship Dance, at Kirkwood.

This morning, coffee fix in hand, I zombified into the garden and got one of my projects done.  I made another stab at enlarging the front entrance garden.  I used multi-layers of cardboard and paper bags, watered it in, then covered it with leaves.  It looks pretty nice this time.

Then, drumroll, behold!  An ephemeral penis fungus was in erection mode in the strawberry patch!  So climactic!  And I got photos to prove it!  I even dragged Avdi over to witness it, before it went limp!  (I just call it penis fungus for obvious reasons; it’s really appropriately named Phallus rubicundus, or red stinkhorn, both good descriptions!)  I was so excited!  Garden porn!

Then I came home to collapse from all the excitement, or lack of sleep.
