Pointless Meandering

Interesting thing about limestone is it’s extremely permeable.  This means there’s lots of unfilled space in the stone and they’re connected, so that water can soak in.  What with the “unexpected” rain this past week, the orange lady’s bed got soaked.  Leaving it out in the sun for a day usually would help, but the rain’s been persistent so the all-day drying session has inevitably been followed by another soaking.

A couple of hours in a 250° oven will clear that up.  The stone is drier, and understandly lighter, too (color and weight).  Still, it perplexes the kids: “Daddy, why is that rock in the oven?”
