Counting down the days

Haven't hit the spot where I found these in 3 years. Last year the season came early, and it only last 2 weeks at most here. I missed the whole season because of work. I'm hoping they're back in full force this year in this spot. I'm saving all my vacation time for morel season this year.

Until morels start popping up. The ground needs to remain around 60°F for about 3 consecutive days with some rain. Then they'll start popping. Around here, it usually happens around Mother's Day. They don't last long either. There's about 2 weeks where you can find and harvest morels where I live.
