I’ve been walking the beach here, looking for that Petoskey stone.    Yesterday I didn’t need to go far before my fingers were freezing from dipping them into the cold waves, and my pockets were full.

I took my new collection back to the house to see what I had.  Look!  Aren’t they beautiful?  And the rock at the 6:00 location on the plate?  A Petoskey stone!

At this rate of accumulation I’ll need to rent a U-Haul to drag them all home.  So I think I need to put a limit on how many I can collect a day.  Or maybe the limit should be per week…like two stones a week?  But at that rate I’m all done for my entire time here.

Later in the day I drove down to a small village and had lunch.  Plus I bought an owl.  OK, so it’s a ROCK that was carved into an owl.  Another stone to take home.  Guess that means I’m done.
