“I am just dreaming of the rocks I can retrieve from the river with that baby!!!”
The boys got a couple of good ones from our creek a few years back using our bobcat. They were kind of flattish, but thick enough for me to use as steps up to my woodland garden area. Whenever hubby goes to KY on his geneological hunts, he usually brings back a few rocks from specific sites. I joked with him this year if he keeps it up, we will be able to build our own stone wall like they have in KY. LOL
Thank goodness, everybody is different in their interests. Would be a dull world if we were all alike. Some people look askance at the things that take my interest and others get enthused along with me. I have always collected rocks on my travels and enjoy grouping them in my various flower beds. I can walk along the garden telling people, “ that pile of rocks came from Acadia National Park, Swan’s Island, Moosehead Lake, El Cajohn CA, Grand Canyon area, Schoodic Point or any other numbeer of places I have visited. Just took hubby down to the river and pointed out several large rocks (some over four feet long) that I would like when the river gets lower.
I wish I had the skill and stamina to build rock walls. We have some beautiful rock walls here in Maine over a hundred years old. Most of the old cellars here are made of huge granite stones.
