Autumnal Flora

 Our yard has been invaded by mushrooms.  I don't know what kind of mushroom this is, although I'm pretty sure last year our neighbor had three or more rings of these growing in her yard -- so maybe they're related. 

Mushrooms have been springing up all over the neighborhood, I'm guessing because of the really heavy rains we got a week ago.

 Autumn is officially here.  I have managed to catch a cold from The Child's school.

The fuchsia at the side of the house survived the summer and the benign neglect that we heap upon it.
