Today’s Question:
When is the last time you were in a forest ? - Not sure if sightseeing in New England counts but if it does then about 2 years. That would be the closest.
What is the most common type of tree/vegetation in your surroundings (that you can identify/know the name of) ? - D/K
Where you live, do you ever see mushrooms/toadstools/fungi/lichen growing on nearby lawns, stumps, logs, etc. ? - Sometimes I see wild mushrooms.
Does moss grow in your climate ? - I've seen it.
Extra Credit:
Do you have awards on display such as trophies, plaques, ribbons, or certificates of achievement ? - No, it's only me here. I never have guests over.
If you received a diploma and/or college degree, where is that piece of paper now... - Stored in a box. -is it framed/on your wall ? -was it given away ? -is it stored away someplace you haven’t checked for years ? - Closest answer. -did you toss it out ?
-or other ?
Bonus:
Do you have a baseball bat ? - Edit: I have one baseball and one softball bat. Do you own any sports equipment ? - I still have both baseball gloves, 2 bats, a baseball, and softball I used when I was younger. The last time I played was 1995 and I got injured doing so. An accident when I went into an unsecured 2nd base after a double on my first swing in an actual game in 9 years and tore both hamstrings. It ruined my summer.
The last time I played organized softball was exactly 30 years ago. I never played professionally but I did play for a number of years in organized leagues, pick-up games, and regular praxtice. If so, are the items still used, or are they sentimental belongings ? - Last year I mentioned to a friend that I still have my gloves and we should throw the ball around just for fun. We never did but perhaps I will make the suggestion again now the weather is getting warmer. How recently have you worn a baseball cap ? - Last summer at a Baltimore Orioles baseball game.
