That's a nice looking dinner TAT. And here I figured it would have ended up stuffed for a trophy since it was his "first". Instead, sounds like you guys are the ones who got "stuffed".
Tatt, love the pic of your step dad out on the ocean. Looks like it was a perfect day!
GG - what a beautiful herb garden. I love the rock border.
Thanks, Cheryl DH is a geologist by training and he collected many of these rocks while growing up in Michigan. We loaded up the car with them years ago when his parents retired and sold his childhood home and brought them here to Virginia.
GG, that is one fine looking garden! BTW, if you need more rocks I'd be happy to send some to you (at your cost, of course ). I swear there are Rock Fairies up here who fly over the yard every winter, spreading rock seeds everywhere, which sprout up new rocks the following spring when I go to dig.
Dawg, those pickles look yummy already. Resist, resist!
Addie, I'll buy that story! Funny thing is Ohio has a lot of stone walls too, and I never had such large crops of rocks in either of those two yards back there. We built all three houses in what had been wooded areas too. These must be special multiplying rocks.
All of those rocks are part of the Allegheny Mountains before they were worn down over time the millenniums. I love stone walls. Poo lived in a house where the stone walls surrounding the property were built during Colonial times. It was covered with growth and a lot of wild flowers. That growth kept the rocks in place. You couldn't even pick up one of the top ones.
I always find it interesting to discover the geology in the places I live. Even though I am not a geologist, I still understand enough to see and know why certain things are the way they are. Like the horizontal lines on our mountains...they are the shorelines from when our valley was a glacial lake.
