Cookie too hard

Cool rock or cursed cookie?

If any of the holes go all the way through, we call that a Hag Stone.

Unfortunately not. I'll keep an eye out for one now, though.

Is that the wood that cats love to tussle with? Yarn, string, streamers, etc. just can't compare to it for satisfaction of the feline compulsion to ball up some fur. ☝🏼

Oh yeah, that was a long walk down down a short path. Good effort either way.

Sometimes, it's the journey.

The bar is so low for rocks; why can't it be that low for me...

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 5 points 6 days ago

I think you're cool.

Or... are those holes surrounded by rock?
