A Head the Size of the Moon

Every year I trick myself into believing the garden won't have new rocks in it when spring arrives, and every year I'm wrong.




I'm not delusional.  It's a coping mechanism that allows me to approach gardening with fresh enthusiasm each year, kind of like the super-heroic ability we women have to forget how painful natural childbirth is until a few weeks before our due date (or is that just me?).

Anyway, back to our impressive garden.  This year, I unearthed the Crown Jewel, though anybody who'd try to wear the thing is a sucker.  After shoveling for at least half an hour, I called my Dad to ask for his lever-- again-- and after digging it out further, I realized I'd need my husby, too.  He dug most of it out, and now we just have to attach a chain to lug it out of there.  




I think we'll put it up for auction.  There's got to be a greedy queen somewhere with a large enough head to support such a gem.

  1. WOW. You are rich with rocks.

    I often say we are rich with sticks and mud, but now that I think of it, I think we may have some of those rock-treasures lying about (and below) as well.

  2. H.,
    One benefit to all the rocks is that you can line your flower beds easily! Walkways! Walls! Build a little house!

    If only I had more energy.
