First time I've visited this thread. I love rocks and don't have enough!! All of your pics are awesome!! Dave - when did you get a camera??? ;-)) I think those are the first pics I have seen you post - very nice and keep it up!! My neighbor has a beautiful boulder that my kids used to play on when they were little and when she built her house there she planted hens/chicks in the dips. I'll try to get a pic of it when I'm out with my camera. The farm I grew up on had tons of stones and rocks. When my oldest brother built his house on farm land and they dug the cellar they hit this huge stone ledge the entire size of the house (or bigger). Of course they had to stop digging at that point and they laid the foundation on the stone. I think he said the rock was 1/4 from being level. WOW - talk about a house built on rock instead of sand!!! As I said I love rocks and stones and last year i brought back some farm stones and use them with my succulents. It's nice having a piece of my past with me all of the time. Eleanor
