Our weather in Fairfield County Connecticut has been a little damp latey, and strange things are appearing.    As I drove down my driveway, I saw three balls nestled near the drain.  I thought perhaps the neighbor kids up the street lost their soccer balls.  On closer examination, and the lack of black, I got out of my car to find that these three objects were "Fungi".  They were quite enormous, but I didn't want to go all the back up the driveway for a ruler, so I used the next best thing to show how big they were...A Starbucks Venti* Coffee. 

That evening, I went to visit a friend.  In his yard, there was another soccer ball(?)  My friend has no children, so I figured, "OK, another one of those huge pod people mushrooms".  I was still parked in my car, and took a picture of it. 

But, it was not a Puff Ball...well, maybe kind of a puff ball.  It was a cat.
