I am really drawn to this setting. This is the type of area that I find very inviting to go sit and be quiet or read. Watch the birds and enjoy natural beauty.

Lovely, Rocklady.

@Claudia and @woofie Thanks so much for the compliments. The first year we were retired I spent a lot of time hauling rocks and working on the borders. DH said he thought the hill behind the house was not as high as it was when we first got here since I used to dig up rocks and roll them down the hill!

Lucky you! We have plenty of rocks here, but they're all downhill from me!

@woofie -- if the rocks had been downhill, I doubt that I would have had the motivation to move them up hill :rofl:
@Claudia it was hard work but I think perhaps my Scottish genes might have had something to do with it Whistling
