1.18.14 The Towering Oak Births Maitake, and Now Fosters Reishi


Photo: The towering Oak births Maitake mushrooms some years, remarkable herbs. So this fall I brought one of two Reishi, miracle birth and all, from Umass to the Oak, and it has happily settled in , through subzero and spring weather and last night's small dusting of snow. See how magnificent they both are, really- the broad Oak with its bright winter miss; and the royal Reishi, almost magenta, so dark. To prepare the Reishi in my formulas fir my herb company, you purchase organic Reishi slices, cook half of them , then soak the other half in a crock pot of tea for three days or so , til the tea is reabsorbed, dry the herb, grind it, and presto- powerful powdered gold for your health. Ah, royal Reishi.

When morning comes to Morgantown
The merchants roll their awnings down
The milktrucks make their morning rounds
In morning, Morgantown
We'll rise up early, with the sun
To ride the bus while everyone is yawning
And the day is young
In morning, Morgantown
Morning Morgantown
Buy your dreams a dollar down
Morning any town you name
Morning's just the same
We'll find a table in the shade
And sip our tea and lemonade
And watch the morning on parade
In morning, Morgantown
Ladies in their rainbow fashions
Colored stop and go lights flashing
We'll wink at total strangers passing in
Morning, Morgantown
Morning Morgantown
Buy your dreams a dollar down
Morning any town you name
Morning's just the same
I'd like to buy you everything
A wooden bird with painted wings
A window full of colored rings
In morning, Morgantown.
But the only thing I have to give
To make you smile, to win you with
Are all the mornings still to live
In morning, Morgantown.
