The Great Mushroom Hunt

I like the way time stands still When I don't turn the calendar Just after a warm rain in Spring February 2011...never left; didn't Want to- March 2012...Lent begins; my Favorite time of year- Every leaf must be unturned Faces might appear Mayhem awaits every discovery One goal looms... My calendars must be turned Before May Before mushrooms spoil Before Mushrooms Spoil 04/20/23 9:56 pm

Boy, do I wish you were wrong. I want the calendar to stay in each page longer. Terrific take on time.
