hello! a little of this & that today…

i’ve been getting inquiries about the forest findings that i often sell {& sell out of!}

in the other etsy shop barren river emporium

so ~ whenever it’s not raining and ice-storming {no snow in south central kentucky, yet}

 i’ve been gathering gum tree seed pods & these are excellent specimens…

and collecting more crinoid fossils that jewelry designers love to use in their wares…

but i pause to capture a lovely scene.

the clouds parted and colors rained down. a beautiful & fleeting sundown…
