Someone ordered a box of rocks from my website last night (yes, lol, that’s a REAL product at my shop!).

And this morning I stopped to gather them while I was out taking my run/walk.

An idea…

Last week I received an inquiry by email to ask if I’d be interested in reviewing MRE products. Of course I would, I replied. Preparedness goes hand in hand with our lifestyle out here at Wild Ozark.

When most people think of natural resources, they’re thinking of lumber, ores, fresh water, and other things used for manufacturing on an industrial scale. Local natural resources include wild foods and medicines, wild water, and for me, wild rocks.

I bought what I hoped would be a warm hat while on a recent trip. During this past week’s arctic blast and snowmageddon, I got to put that hat to the test. It passed with flying colors.

Percolating a painting- what does that even mean?

I don’t know if you’ve noticed how long it takes me between finishing a painting and starting another. Well, it does, but there’s a reason.

I feel very lucky to live in a region where rockhounding for pigment is a possibility. Rocks are everywhere here, and many of them are excellent sources for a range of colors!
