Omg, I jumped!!!

@lorika13

@mrtyle So did he! ;)

@shawnzaa

I'm petrified. Can't do spiders. At al

@lorika13

@shawnzaa It's actually very small by the way- only about a fourth of an inch or so long. They also look kinda like ewoks, if that helps. :)

@missbhavens

I don't mind spiders at all...but hairy one do give me the heebiejeebies

@shawnzaa

@lorika13 it helps a bit but still- hairy spider? NOPE. :)

@monolight Oh yes. I don't think you could get this dish at a restaurant! ;) haven't even seen any morels on a menu!

@monolight

@lorika13 H and I took a chance and drove to Pepin WI. Sometimes they serve morels at Harborview. Was a crapshoot and we ended up eating elsewhere. Now I want to get some and cook some shrooms. Love morels.

@annfriedrich

That looks delicious! My mom finds bucketfuls of morels on their property in Iowa.

@annfriedrich

Oops, also can find a few in the sweet pea soup currently at Restaurant Alma.

@lorika13

@annfriedrich Wow- lucky Mom! Morels in sweet pea soup eh? Hmmm

@annfriedrich

I agree about the soup. I skipped it.

@chank

ants totally love peonies, it's true.

So true. We watched it every year growing up

@fantailmedia Thank you! Loving the new #olloclip

@fantailmedia

I'm disgruntled that I'm kinda married to my Juice Pack case; I suppose I could take it on and off, but at some point that means " carry ( one of) the real camera";-)

@lorika13

@fantailmedia I have to take my case off when I use the Olloclip, but I don't use it all the time, so it's ok. I wish I didn't have to, but that's the only way to make it work! :)

Otter configuration ;)

@slingshotannie

I could watch them scurry around in their smelly little pack all day.

@janebon

They're just so funny!! If I was more like a mermaid, I think I could own an otter, or at least hang out with them. That'd be nice.

@czt

That's the way to do it! By the way... yr cocktail is named "42" - there's no way that YOU are 42 so... how did they get their name?

@chuckumentary

@czt Each drink has 21oz of alcohol. ;-)

@czt

@chuckumentary Ha! Those glasses must the size of bowling balls!

@czt

@lorika13 @chuckumentary ... and please now this - that earlier "42" comment was not a shmooze. I'll be 42 myself in September and you both look far younger than that to me! Freshies ⚑

@czt

@lorika13

@czt Haha! Thank you. I certainly don't feel 42, but I probably will never feel older than about 12. ;)
