Seasons In The Sun

by Rod McKuen

Went for the early morning walk into the forest with the purpose of checking the status of mushrooms. The porcinis are rising. I picked perhaps 10 of them, most young ones like this. I did not pick the bíg and old ones already housing many many worms.

And then we left for the other family cottage on the island on the Baltic sea. On the way we naturally visited my mum. She was so tired we felt really bad. She was still interested in porcinis as my parents were both really interested in mushrooms and picking them.
