We were up early because we had to be on the road. While the sky is a bit gray, the rain has stopped, and hopefully it will remain so for at least a few days.
As part of my morning ritual, I went out for a little stroll in the yard (to stretch my legs and, well, to awaken the still groggy spirit). And oh boy, I was delighted! Three bees are enjoying the pollen of the pumpkin flower. What a great sight early in the day!
Another surprise caught my eye. A fruit! Well, not only one but two! Thank goodness the pests left some for us. It may be too early to celebrate, but I can't help it. If these make it until they are harvested for the table, they would be our very first success in growing the plant.
Meanwhile, one of the eggplant stems given to us by the neighbor is showing a good sign that it will soon thrive. Awesomeness! I didn't check the others at the west side of the house (it's muddy there), but I believe they must have grown more leaves with the generous rains.
And just when I thought the little surprises were over, I found another one nearly hidden beside the pile of old wood. It was growing on a damp ground. Leucocoprinus Birnbaumii, according to Google Lens (not sure though if it was ID'd correctly).
Somehow, my phone camera couldn't take better shots, but below is the closest one to its actual color. Yellowish-greenish, is it? Don't even know how to describe it, lol!
Not only my legs and eyes body got their nourishments, my soul too馃ぉ What a great start for a Tuesday! So I guess it's not too much to expect for some more, yeah?
