You may or may not have noticed but I took a break from posting to Poetry Friday last month. We moved in June, were settling in during July, and I started writing on Medium in August. I needed some change and I got it. But one of the most fantastic things I did in August…

Fungi Seen on Wisconsin Hikes: The Common and the Weird
