Market day! You know you're in good with the wild mushroom woman when she throws a couple extra fat chanterelles in your bag. (I 🖤 the mushroom woman. She's French Canadian w/ a mess of grey & purple hair, & looks exactly like you'd expect a woman who lives in the woods gathering mushrooms to look.)

Also shopping for Thanksgiving next weekend, which is why I now have 4 dozen eggs. 1 dozen are for ice cream.

Damn, I love living here.

@elizarde today I learned I look like a mushroom woman. Except I am Jewish/Portuguese/BrazilianIndigenous and I live in the desert gathering cats.

@MexicanYenta I mean, it's not just the hair, it's the whole look, and it's a look I definitely appreciate. It's kind of what I had in mind back when I decided I wanted to be a crazy mountain lady when I got older. One day, if I'm very, very good, that fabulous grey hair, kind-but-don't-fuck-with-me face, and layers of comfortable clothes will be mine, too.
