I was asked to photograph the progress of a local Habitat House. I took on the job with no hesitation. I am going to share some of the photos with you. It is so amazing how many it takes to build a house. Then it is mind boggling the number of people that volunteers. This program is one of the best.
Mission Statement

To share the love of Christ by creating partnerships with communities, families and volunteers to improve the quality of life for families in need by providing simple decent housing and opportunities for home ownership.

Morel Mushrooms

While mowing the yard yesterday, for the first time of the season, I found Morel Mushrooms. So I stopped the mower, ran to get the camera. There were a few, 8 or so, hoping for more to show up today.
They popped up out of old rotten roots of a tree. I not going to eat these. As I researched the mushrooms, come to find out that there are False Morels, and they are poisonous. But these in my yard are safe.
