All Home

It is now more than a year later.  Like many bloggers, the discipline to keep on blogging was something that I let slip.  I did, however, complete the project as planned.

I needed all the time that I had available to carry all of that stone home again.  Since it was the middle of winter, the stone was just piled at the side of my house.  In the spring, I used some of it to turn part of my front lawn into a garden for greens.  I set it back deep enough that the risk of walked dogs peeing on it was low and planted it with arugula, chard, kale, radicchio and mesclun mixes.  It has been a beautiful and delicious addition to our property for two seasons now.
The rest of the stone was built back into a rectangular pile, and during the summer we often saw chipmunks scooting in and out.  I enjoyed having it just waiting for the next stone project.
