My brother and I were just discussing the rocks moved around by glaciers, and I had no idea that they had an actual name- how interesting. I got back from Acadia a few weeks ago, and they have so many beautiful rocks up there. Like many other people in Maine and New England, my yard is pretty much sitting on one big piece of rock. I landscaped around the bigger formations in the yard. I think it greatly helped give my garden a head start as far as looking interesting...I love rocks.

This one is the bigger piece of ledge...I built a raised bed up in front of it, using rocks I unearthed when I pulled away all the weeds and brush that was totally coviering this ledge. I kind of wish the lady ferns didn't obscure it so much. I'll try to find more pics of the other rocks in my garden...
