365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

cookies?????? you got off cheap!!! Rocks cost a fortune these days! Fun story & pic
ReplyDeleteYep, if I'd had to buy this rock and have it set, it probably would have cost me $1500 or so, but the guys were...well...up against a rock and a hard place. They couldn't put it back in the hole because they were burying power/phone lines and they couldn't leave it on the side of the road, and they couldn't shove it off into the landowner's property on that side of the road. If I hadn't taken it off their hands, they would have had to bring in a dump truck to haul it away. I saved them time and money, and I got a big rock I'm now going to have to spray weed-killer around. Trust me on this, I have a "country" yard: mostly weeds and molehills. This ain't no fancy landscapin' job!
