Ketch-Up Tuesday

 So how was your weekend, blogger buds? What did ya do?

We spent the weekend in Bethesda and DC with the daughter and SIL. More  to come about the DC visit, but for now a visit to the gem room in the Museum of Natural Science. I felt like a kid in a candy store I have many, many more pictures of crystals for later postings. (You've been warned;)














So many rocks. So little time.

Can you believe it's August?

Lots of pretty rocks. Hard to believe it is August. Seven months of achieving little with five more to go of achieving little. Then repeat.

No, I can't believe it is already August. It rained on Sunday night in my hometown, then was dreary but hot yesterday on the first.

Happy August! Wild that we are already in this month. I love gems and all these different ..um...rocks. The amazing colours always leave me a bit gobsmacked to be honest. That huge bulbous green stone...is that Jade? There are just so many to see.
