Something very exciting just happened.
I was doing laundry (not exciting). In order to do that, I go next door to use the washing machines. As I'm leaving their house and returning to mine, a rock catches my attention. I bend over, pick it up, brush it off, and my goodness! It looks like a petrified mushroom!
