My faves are….stone nestling in fevvers and the re-creation of a big fancy pot…..
It’s so large
And It’s Grooved
It was merry hell
To move
The big pot, the big pot…………. https://www.nessofbrodgar.co.uk/its-large-its-grooved-ware-and-now-available-to-view-as-a-3d-model/

A seasonal observation…
Six Linnets
This morning
Six Linnets.
Feeding on seeds.
*****
Feeding on the seeds of Self-heal.
Feeding, Healing me
While watching them.
*****
That’s what happens
If you let life, live
In your gravel.

While I’m playing with numbers….
Nine Little Figurines
Nine little figurines
From the Bronze Age
*****
Some placed ‘neath Standing Stones
Some used as weights?
*****
Some placed by the hearth
To keep the place safe
