I dug this out of my garden about 3 months ago, just before surgery. It was about 3 inches down in the soil.....

Seriously though, it must have fallen un-noticed off of one of the cleaning screen frames and got buried under leaves and dirt from one of my Compost Piles. I estimate that it's from 2019 Oct dig and was in the ground for a couple years. It is glass clear in the top 1 1/2 inches.

That's gorgeous! I'm glad you re-found it.

"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."

Although I did find a live turtle there once , but she's a totally different story. Nice find, Patty

Nice "find" Henry! If there's a chance I'm going to find something like that, I'm gonna start diggin' up my wife's flower garden tomorrow! LOL

(I better make it a deep dig...as she'd just bury me in it afterward! LOL)

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
