I'm excited - I found the moss I was referring to - Lycopodium clavatum. Not surprisingly, I first thought it was the plant we have always called Princess Pine, another Lycopodium. Here is an article about them: https://blog.visitcranelake.com/clubmoss/
On the Grandparent topic, the stiff version of this plant was "fruiting" when we were hiking there at the beginning of October, and our littlest guy, not yet 2, was excitedly running through the patch, creating a white cloud of spores and laughing. The older one was excited that he got to sit on the "pillow moss" on the rocks this year - it's usually too wet. This makes me wonder if we can find a place in our gardens to create a moss bed next summer - it will be tough because we're on a sand plain, but maybe...gives me something to explore this winter.
Have a peace filled day.
