and AJW # 31, just under the wire

Challenge # 31, the final one of this series, is "arches". I immediately thought of these old stone cottages scattered around the Brenham area. The stonemason who built them usually included two distinctive trademarks: one or more arches in the design and the use of petrified wood as part of the mixed stones. I especially love the wood-turned-to-stone --- the grain marks can still be seen clearly!
