Mushrooms after rain

No, I won't eat these because I don't know what they are (and I'm not a big fan of mushrooms anyway--it's a texture thing). For size, the green leaf is about four inches. I tried to look these up online and realized how little I know about mushroom, other than they look cool. In the final photo, you'll see evidence that someone is eating the mushrooms (and corn and acorns). 

Bee Theme Continued

Several years ago, when we first moved out to the country, I planted some seeds called "mallow" and were labeled wild flowers. Now I see that they're considered weeds, which proves to be true since I dug them up years ago and yet they return. So I've embraced them, and it's a good thing, too. Today they're covered in bees. So I've included the photos below. I think the final photo is a honey bee from a neighbor's hive. 

Day lilies in my garden

I've got a few day lilies, and they thrive in my Minnesota garden, even with partial shade. Those classic day lilies that spread and spread, becoming monstrous and sprawled? I love them. They are growing at the edge of the woods, defining the border and giving it a pop of color in mid-summer.

The newer day lilies keep to themselves a little better. I've got these tucked on the opposite edge of the woods. They're at the end of their blooming time, but the foilage looks good the entire growing season.
