   I love your stone work. What are the people made of? We are having warm days here in Mo. No snow. Yea! I am putting together a seed swap Tue on bloomin Tue. Will be the final count.If you are interested please let me know.
   Have a great weekend. Grammy

   Grammy,
   The helpers are set in their ways. Made of concrete they don’t get around much either.

   Seeds are not my thing. I don’t have the space for them. I did collect some yellow jewelweed seed this year though. There’s none around here so when I visited my daughter downstate I grabbed some so I can throw them in he pond garden next year. If you want you can have some – but be warned – they are prolific and aggressive to the point that’s all you’ll see when they take hold.

   I was thoroughly enjoying your little adventure. Then your “helpers” caught me completely off guard. Good show! You certainly can weave a tale.

   mimmylynn,
   Those things give me the creeps everytime I see them. But I did have fun with the standing one once. How to move a boulder

   Dear Mr. WiseA**
   My goodness you had a lot more snow than we did .. and NO !! I’m not ready for that mindset either. And YES !! .. it all melted no problem and WOW ! this week we are having temps in mid teens with SUN .. those sun worshippers are going to be too HAPPY.
   I love this stone work .. looks like they have no neighbors sitting on top of them with that beautiful view of the water.
   I really am going to take my “training wheels” OFF come Spring .. those DUMB timber ties are going and I have to become a real deal gardener without them .. it is all very scary with what I am planning .. but hubby is more than willing to be VERY helpful (I think he feels he should do something VERY nice for me because he will have been to Cuba and gone to South Carolina on a golf trip by then!) haha .. love working the “poor me” aspect .. hehehe .. awwww I don’t really do that .. but the garden is “a changin!” haha
   Hope your Halloween was fun ? : )

   Joy,
   Snow schmoo I’m glad it’s gone. I just hope I manage to get all the wood into the house before it returns.

   Neighbors are out of sight but the area once ‘wild’ is now getting built up with big houses. I feel a bit sorry for the camp owners who were there for years – their property taxes are now skyrocketing.

   I hate to ask what you’re planning. Anything besides a nice cut edge is going to crimp your spending at that store you love. You’ll be working that “poor” you in more ways than one

   Yea, we had fun. We went to a friends and put ‘costumes’ on something that looked like pizza. I drew the line on the moose though. Hope you had fun. Sorry I missed you on your fly by.

   Beautiful….Your stone hardscape is fantastic. I love all things stone and could we very happy looking at the loveliness you have created. Gail

   Gail,
   The pics don’t do justice to the stone. My work isn’t anything special – it’s the stone that makes it look good. It’s impressive just laying around.

   Those statues look like the painting “The Scream”! Too weird for my taste. The rock work is beautiful.

   Giddy,
   All I can say is it’s a good thing no sound comes out of their mouths.

   Beautiful work! I am planning to do a small patio with natural stone, and your pics are inspirational. =)

   Sasha,
   …and your words are music to my ears. (the stone part mainly – but it’s nice to know my pics made an impression)
