Rick and Eileen are huge fossil fans who have boxes of them in the garage. And this is after we thinned the collection when we moved. We set up tables and benches in our front yard with fossils, crystals, and rocks on them with a sign that said, "Please take one." We had folks coming from blocks away who had heard about the rocks. Little children made their parents walk them over every evening after dinner for a week so they could choose another rock. Finally, a grade school science teacher came and took all that were left for her classes. It was a wonderful experiment in sharing with the neighborhood.
The fossil in the picture was a Christmas present to me from Rick years and years ago. It's an eons old ginko leaf that sits in my studio.... Mary
