    I'm glad you are doing okay. Please stop apologizing for no video last week, I'm sure I speak for many when I say, your health and safety comes first. That heat can be a killer, literally. I am thankful for you both and all the enjoyment you provide to all of us watching on. Thanks and be well.🙂

    Pudding stone is found across Michigan, around the Ontario peninsula, and less commonly on the surrounding coastlines of the Great Lakes. Each location these stones are found in offers a different conglomerate of materials making up the stones. I have always wanted to visit Michigan to search for these lovely, interesting stones! You are so lucky to have found some! Also, while we, your audience, miss your videos if you fail to post, we ALL understand the vagaries and vicissitudes of life and just hope you are safe and well!

    For me, here on the coast of Georgia, the heat is really bad. But then in the early evenings, we get thunderstorms and rain. This does not cool us down but makes it like a Turkish bath! So please, with the heat in Britton, and your country not used to this type of heat, be careful, drink plenty of water and don't venture out until the cooler times. I hope Kate is feeling better.

    My grandparent's farmhouse in Hillman MI was faced entirely with what we call puddingstones. I'm not sure if it's the same stone as yours. Our stones are gray with red stones in them, they kind of look like they are splattered with red paint. Lots of old houses in that area are made of puddingstones. Didn't realize they were so rare.

    In times past in the US, stones were mixed w/cement for sidewalks etc. This made the cement stronger and more durable (last longer). I don't think that qualifies as one of your "pudding stones", but when I saw what you found, it reminded me of older/better cement! They have an interesting history from your research!
