A little tiny stack of Chicken in the Woods mushrooms. Hope more and larger ones come! #FungiFriday

Orange mushrooms growing out of the side of an old stump. They’re small so I had to get up close. There’s some moss nearby.

A muddy trail leading through a stand of vine maple in its fall colors in the Hoh Rainforest on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. #footpathfriday

Muddy trail leads through some vine maples in their fall orange foliage. In the background, there are very mossy skeletons of big leaf maple and then forested mountains shrouded in cloud.

The forecast is cold and overcast, so this is the probably the garden’s goodbye gift. 🫡 Everything did great this year except the peas which were wiped out early by some type of virus. #gardening

Gate into the run. There's two posts with the raw edge piece of lumber over the top. There's not enough room for a large predator to get through. You can see the wire fencing and the coop in the background.

A log laying horizontal with two sides sawn away so there's a piece of lumber left about 4 inch thick. A chainsaw lies nearby on the grass.

The bobcat struck again yesterday and traumatized the flock. They’ve been sticking close to me today in the garden and wood pile. This bobcat has been growing more bold. I will add netting above the run but if that doesn’t work then I’m tempted to leave my .22 by the back door. #backyardchickens

I scored a couple of yellow cedar logs (the ones on the far left and right in the photo). Thinking of trying to set up an “Alaskan” mill where you use your chainsaw to make rough boards. This would be a winter project.

Some photos from our hike up to Marmot Pass in the Olympic Peninsula. It’s an 11.5 mile hike with 3500 feet elevation gain. The trail is in great shape. My only complaint is that there were some horse flies with no respect for personal space on the way up.

Photo looking up a steep slope with some meadow flowers and pine trees. There are jagged rock cliffs above, and a blue sky with wispy white clouds.

Wide vista of some mountain meadows with alpine trees. There are many mountains in the background with a blue sky and puffy white clouds.

I built the chicken run on the site of an old barn that stood where the Tuff Shed you see in the photo now is. The chickens are always excavating and uncovering old artifacts. Mostly it’s buried plastic, but sometimes you find some fun stuff. #backyardbirds #backyardchickens
