Nan,

What a cool place! I’d love to go for a hike across the rocks and through the woodlands. Must email my mom and dad with a link to your post – maybe they’ll make a pit stop on their way south in the fall. They’d love to try to make the rocks ring and I would imagine there are geocaches hidden among them just waiting to be found.

Your rock borders/walls are far from pathetic! You’ve done just what I would do. When life hands you rocks, you use them in the garden.

Thanks for your comment, Cathy. I’d bet you’re right about the geocaches; it would be a perfect place for them.

Very interesting. And yes, you’re right. We gardeners tend to commiserate with a unconscious one-upmanship. I might join in grousing about my rocks but thanks to you, now I have some perspective. Why, compared with the ringing rocks, I hardly have any rocks at all. And like you, I use the rocks I dig out to line beds. So it’s not all negative.

Hi, mss! Yep, it’s all relative, as they say. Still, even a small rock can cause a big headache if it’s in the wrong place (where one needs to dig, for instance).

Hi Nan!

Hi Ken! I guess one advantage of your case is that you get to pick very special rocks for your garden. They’re certainly worth the effort!
