Giant Puffball

OK, so Who Knew that these were actually a thing????

I looked out the window earlier this week, and thought - huh, who kicked a BALL into the garden area there?  We're quite out of ball-kicking distance.  Maybe the wind blew it there?

So yesterday I investigated further.  It's the size of a soccer ball (I didn't have anything with me to show the scale).  That little dent in the front is where I poked it with my foot.  Then I googled it.

Evidently - it's a mushroom.  A giant mushroom.  A giant puffball mushroom.  Some of these can be edible.  Not an issue for me, as I hate all mushrooms.  But - it's hardly a puffball at this point, it's rather solid.  Maybe as they dry up they puff out all the spores?  I'm inclined to wait it out - unless I did it in with my toe prodding!!

The extra yarn for the GLC arrived today, so I can get busy and get that finished.  I also need to finish and block Waiting for Rain, since my parents are coming to visit next week and my plan is to give it to my mom then.  I did a few rows on Brioche last night as well.  I also started Brickless, but decided I wanted to go with a larger needle size.  And - I'm going with Alexander's Airplane Scarf for the Kidsilk Haze - with beads!!  More to come on that!  So many projects!!!
