Rocks!

Although I dug the main pond (Phase II), put down the liner, and filled it, I have yet to disguise the liner.   We have be inundated with rain for weeks at a time.  The day or two of sun that we have gotten have been wickedly humid.  I've done little those days...normally trying to catch up on cutting grass and keeping the paths mowed.  

I have been wanting to get more rocks for the area surrounding the pond.  For a while now, I have passed a place along a main road that is taking a backhoe to a rocky hillside.   I've been wanting to ask for rocks--finally getting a sunny day (and temps in the 70s with low humidity), I finally drove out and asked.  I was thrilled to be told, "Sure  take what you want."

I made three trips out, each time getting bigger and bigger rocks--a few that I really struggled loading into my car.  Yes, my car.  I treat it like a truck at times like these.

I am a nut.  I really struggled with these.  Luckily, I'm a clever nut--I made "stairs" from other rocks.

I am hoping to piece them together in a way that suggests a rocky cliff outcropping.  If I succeed, it will look as though it has as always been there.  Well, after the rocks have weathered more.

I even started playing with these after I got them out of the car.

(Despite taking pictures of birds, butterflies, various insects, and the game cam capturing a few larger creatures, it took getting rocks to get me to post again!)
