Drips!
On October 27, 2017 we had sleet (at least at my house). Glad it is not a repeat performance today. Thirty-three degrees is the lowest we have had today. That is cold enough for me. Sure makes Gracie frisky.

Drips on the grass. Have you noticed how a water droplet magnifies?

Blackburn’s Earth-boring Beetle (Geotrupes blackburnii) was an interesting find. There were about six of these beetles laying on their backs. Of course, they were all barely moving because of the cold.

Love the fungus. Wonderful drip pics.
