A Homemaking Journey: Way Back in the Day

Way Back in the Day

8:10 PM by Dawn S.

This past week were all out weeding our garden and Jesse found a fossilized rib bone. Just laying there. I don't know how we didn't notice when we tilled, or if all the rain resurfaced it, but it was pretty cool. We took it to the Wood Gallery here, where they specialize in fossils and petrified wood. They estimated the bone piece to be 40,000 years old. We've also been able to find petrified wood just laying around in our backyard too. Some days, I really wish I was an archeologist. That sounds so exciting right about now.

We've had all kinds of rain so far, so the lake and the river is fuller than it's been in several years. Its been suggested to wait till the end of the summer and then search the areas the water has receded from to look for washed up arrow heads and fossils. I can't wait!

We are two moms, entrepreneurs and writers who always have a lot on our plates.
