I found this peach pit in the pole barn when raking up the manure. I’ve found nut shells from the hickories around the farm, but never a peach pit. It must have come from the composter which is close to my vegetable garden and far from the barn.
Someone, a mouse probably, chewed a hole and ate the nut.
But that’s not what I saw when I first spotted it. What I saw was an eye looking up at me.
I saved the peach pit and put it on the altar in my studio. A small sculpture from an unknowing artist.
