  1. so, what's up with the holes in the hard rocks. Is there some sort of indigenous creature in Iowa going around banging holes into rocks?

    sort of scary

  2. its the tiny pick wielding hammer mouse. their one and only job is to smash holes in attractive rocks and fill said holes with a single piece of corn.

    of course this is a tall tale. Some people call it a nutting stone

    made by native americans and used for various tasks like mixing pigment, mashing corn, starting fire, playing games...yup, possible nutting stones.

  4. Yeah, I thought they were odd and wonderful as well. they were so tiny and oddly shaped. I wonder where the rest of the rabbit went...
