Gnome Walk

Sometimes I tramp around the woods looking for gnomes.     I find them playing on south facing slopes close to the creek.    I find them dancing in circles around dead Elms.   I pluck them from the ground and stuff them in a sack.   Later, after drowning them in salt water, I fry them up.

Of course I am mushroom hunting.   It's too early to find mushrooms, but everything is so early this spring.   The underbrush in the woods looks like mushrooms should be there.   I have found none.   I will go out on one more walk.   The first sunny day after the next rain I will walk through the woods with great anticipation.
