It's just amazing how fast unwanted things grow. I know that this morning when I was out on my porch, doing the New York Times Puzzle, which was fairly easy with an uninspired theme today, I didn't see it. But this afternoon it was plain as day. At first from afar, I thought it was a golf ball.

Is someone mistaking my well manicured lawn for a golf course? |
As I got nearer to it I realized it didn't come from above, but popped up from below.

| Portobello or Chanterelle? |
 |
An ant umbrella?

I know that sometimes mushrooms will grow in shaded, damp places. But this little beauty has shown itself in the middle of a lawn, high 90 degree temps for weeks, no shade and hardly any rain. It's times like these that I can't help but feel lucky, sort of like I'm the chosen one. There are also times when it seems like I'm on a 70's shroom trip and I will wake up and only grass will be growing on my lawn. Nah, that will never happen!
