Mushroom Monday
Imagine. Clear Montana sky. Cool September breeze, bringing the aroma of fallen leaves. You're slowly walking through a magical serene forest, paying attention to the ground - not unlike paying attention to the other couples on the dance floor - when suddenly... what is this, right down there?!? Just look at this beauty! You bend down, and here it is, the King of Mushrooms, timidly hiding underneath a fallen branch, wearing his brown hat slightly off to the side. But wait - he is not alone! There is another one, leaning against that aspen tree, and two more over there! This is like that awesome tanda you had yesterday when your leader suddenly Spun you, and you felt carried by the wind. There is a very special music of the Fall Montana Forest. Let's dance to its beauty and pick up a few of its precious (and delicious!) gifts.
