Before we left for our Memorial Day outing, I shut the Lot-O off and found this heart. Looks like it’s ready for polish. Its been lost, found, re-ground, pre-polished, and now it’s traveling with us.

fernwood, thank you for your patience, and for putting me up to this. 💜

Gorgeous PURPLE heart, Evan!

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
~ C.S. Lewis

Bending a heart of stone is not an easy task
from my vantage point
good slope w/ schiller sparkles
a royal heart indeed
