jmorth said:I have a lot of rock incorporated into the garden. I've even got a large pile of leverite (should have left it there) cornering a garden angle. Here's a sample of some rocks and fossils out there.

My dear hubby wouldn't let me take this rock home with me, so it remains in the forest! Rolling on the floor laughing

When we moved here 20 years ago I moved a lot of rocks. When I look at some of them now, I wonder how I did it. I feel like such a wimp now. Sighing!
