At this site, you can see photos of moss "galloping" down the slope of stromatalitic limestones (remember Don, like the stuff we looked at last summer off the road behind the hardware in Marquette). I believe I have also seen this phenonmen on rocks in the UP, although not on the stromatolites... I will be looking this summer and post photos if I can find them. (and you guys thought we were just going to the wedding...) http://www.ubcbotanicalgarden.org/potd/ Cool website, check it out. Botany pics every day.
I returned last weekend from another quilting retreat with P, R, and K at R's cabin. It was a blast. 3 trips to the local quilt stores, lots of great food and drink, laughter, and funny stories. I took 6 quilts to work on, didn't actually do much on any of those, but found a perfect fabric for another one and am finishing that up this week. It's a gift, so you'll have to wait for a photo, but I tried out "big stitch" hand quilting for the first time and am really enjoying it. You can cover alot of area quickly and I really like the way it looks on this piece. It will actually contribute to the quilt top and not just hold it together. I've also been looking through all the quilt magazines that I have been collecting for our guild quilt show in April, and have found at least 100 more patterns, styles, and color combinations that I just HAVE to try out. I have to live a LONG time.
