It was a bad season for morels. My dad found only 146. His hand moved when taking this photo he sent me from Michigan. It has given me an idea though. Here in Southern California I haven’t seen any morels. So I have decided that with the tools I possess I am going to make my own. I think that this has something to do with art.

I had this old pencil on the dashboard of my car for a long time. Every time I saw it, I felt uncomfortable since its point was so dull and dirty. I always intended to sharpen it and finally couldn’t bear it any longer and did sharpen it. I’m not sure, but I think that this has something to do with art.
