4. I have a thing for rocks

I use them all over the place here. But they're really PRETTY rocks. Some come from our property, some were free from my vet, and another friend has brought in truck loads for me (I pay him). They're all sizes, and in shades or orange, peach, red, and tan. Lots of quartz, red clay, and limestone here. Lots of caves (like Mammoth). Around my big flower garden, I've used them in gabion pillars with log fencing, and working on the front wall being all rock (in gabion cages). I have them around the big pond, and along the driveway retaining wall. I wouldn't be able to estimate how many tons I've moved in a wheelbarrow (and I'm no pup). Also used them to build the stone hearth under our wood stove, and a future project will be building a chimney around that stove pipe.

They're very versatile for all kinds of projects. I'm into rustic around our little log cabin in the woods.
