For my WIP, I’m doing some rock hounding. I am slowly educating myself about rocks. This was something I found at the base of a waterfall near Mt. St. Helens I believe it’s chalcedony, agate, and quartz.
Anyone know their #rocks?
It almost looks like a geode, but rare there.

Found one of these in the middle of the trail. My rule is “don’t put it in your mouth.”
I didn’t even touch it. My plant app thinks it’s a jelly fungus (poisonous) but any ideas? Doesn’t look like scars.

Took a 5 mile walk in the woods. Saw no one. Solitary. I know it’s not for everybody, but it was paradise for me. And now I have filled up the well for writing.

This writing retreat — which is a pet-sitting gig — is amazing. Just took the dogs for a long hike and now to get to work.

What hope looks like when you put it into action.
It’s a rainy day in Eugene. Ducks game is on. I’m sorting and labeling seeds (mostly wildflower) as an act of faith that spring will come round again.
