Another rock. In 1983, Roxbury Puddingstone or Roxbury Conglomerate was designated the official state rock.
Very pretty! :)

DeleteThat's anew geological term for me, but I like how puddingstone sounds. And I guess how it got its name too. I'm off tomorrow to Worcester to go see Aladdin at the Hanover Theatre. Originally the play was scheduled for last fall, and since my daughter wanted to go, I figured we could combine the play with a trip to see my mom. Now there is no Mom to visit, so it will be my first visit to Worcester without having that stop. That might be a little weird, but I'll know tomorrow. Enjoy your Saturday. hugs-Erika
