We chose a photo of splendid Scarlet Waxcaps for our last Calendar pic of 2024. The theme of our 2025 calendar is Moths.
The idea of going out mushrooming in the Autumn is lovely - well, assuming I was still capable of walking through woodland... I think its called "tree bathing" now, but even when it was plain old "walking through the woods" I liked it. But it has always seemed too risky to pick wild fungi, as even experts can make mistakes, and those mistakes can so easily be fatal.
At least, with the waxcap, I assume that the colour is saying DO NOT EAT ME!!!!
As I have probably said before, one of the many things I look forward to during the Thousand Years is collecting fungi for supper in the woods of Autumn. Autumn can be so lovely even now, so how lovely will it be then. And, under the loving care of the Kingdom of God, there will be no chance of mistakes.
And what will it be like after the Thousand Years,when paradise has been restored earthwide, and everyone is at the same starting point of perfection that our first parents had, but lost? What will it be like knowing we can live forever on this lovely planet, with unnumbered seasons ahead of us... and new things too - things we cannot even conceive of now?
May we all be there to find out.
In the meantime, how quickly 2024 has gone. It has hurtled by, and I guess 2025 will as well, assuming that the Captain and I will still be around to experience it. Everything in me seems to be wearing out at the moment. The Captain is doing much better, thank God.
We Zoomed with our respective siblings on Monday as usual - all seems well. George was off to have his second cataract operation which, hopefully, will go as well as the first did. Pen had to disappear briefly to feed the hens before they left. Nice that they still have hens at the farm. I hope we might be able to get up and see it sometime next year. Every time we go the garden is so different. They have such scope there.
