hey @rocklady, I thought of you when I saw this on Pinterest this morning: I like it because it's just a pile of indigenous rocks, not a fussily constructed thing. You? SHOW ME YOUR CRITTERS! I have a critter page over at Cubits. http://cubits.org/crittergarde... |

@crittergarden Made my back hurt to think about it! My original walls were not half as neat as the dry stacked ones, but DH got tired of me complaining about the deer (and me) knocking rocks off of the wall so this summer he had the local "rock people" build a better wall for me. My first impression when I saw them tearing down the wall was: OMG I worked so hard on that and they're tearing it down, but the final result was beautiful and I can actually sit on it if I get tired and I gained about 6" more of space in my garden! The deer are probably grateful, too.   DH also reaped the benefits of our rock job. He no longer has any grass to mow! Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.

| Thanks. Bev, the last picture is the front yard. The other two are the back. Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day. "The moving hand writes and having writ moves on.

| I just found this because I followed Leftwood's mugs here, but wow. Beautiful stonework. I love the roughly piled line too. I just love rocks. I plan to build drystone boundary walls around two sides of the new (1 acre) property I have moved to. It will take alot of time, alot of rock and alot of back, but I don't care if it takes years. I just want to do it. My Gran had alot of Pam Ayers poetry books around when I was a kid. I'm told it's terrible poetry (is doggerel a bad thing?) but this one stuck and formed a lasting vision. I am a drystone waller I am a drystone waller All day I drystone wall Of all the appalling callings Drystone walling's worst of all Sorry Pam, if I've misremembered and forgotten punctuation, but you changed my life forever. I want to be a drystone waller!  *rolls away back to the lilies* |
