Rock Pile

The Department of Public Works has been doing some road work along our property frontage. In so doing, they exposed plenty of rocks of all shapes and sizes. Saturday, we got the lawn tractor out and hooked up the trailer and lugged three loads up back. You know, really, I've never met a rock I didn't like. We'll find a home for these and others. I've climbed Mt. Washington in NH and Katahdin here in Maine, but I'm really at home playing around in the backyard, making a wall or lining a garden with stones this size. I'll work on this rock pile this summer. It'll be a fun-filled day. Hopefully, it'll be the closest I get to doing 'hard time'.

  1. Well, rocks in your yard are much better than rocks in your head. Ouch! That is SO lame! Your planned activity sounds like it's going to keep you busy. You'll have to take photos of your progress and final outcome. Good project.

  12. This is why New England has so many stone walls. I see another stone wall coming up there in Portland.
