I had not realized how few wild rocks were on our property. I think we will have to visit the Hamilton escarpment area if we want to move more rocks.

(Help with this blog comes from Églantine) I have wandered, walked, run, backpacked, cycled, and skied several thousands of kilometres in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Africa, and the South Pacific. I have also canoed through many lakes and rivers. I have wandered as far north as the Arctic Circle in the Northwest Territories of Canada and as far south as the South Island in New Zealand. I have wandered to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and to the tops of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Ben Nevis in Scotland, Mount Washington in New Hampshire, and many other mountains in the Appalachian chain. My longest walk was a 700 kilometre (435 mile) backpacking summer on the Appalachian Trail. My most challenging canoe trip was through most of the length of the Churchill River in Labrador. Regardless of my foreign wanderings many of my most pleasurable wanderings have been within 10 km (6 miles) of wherever I happen to be living. In words from the character Samuel Hamilton in John Steinbeck's East of Eden, "I take a pleasure in inquiring into things. I've never been content to pass a stone without looking under it."

Ha! I LIKE the idea of flipping rocks inside the house! We have a couple of pretty good geodes too.

Cindy, Glad you found the blog and found it interesting.
ThreeCollie, Thanks for visiting and sharing. I have not been visiting blogs as much lately but do enjoy reading about your life on the farm when I do as it brings back so many childhood memories.
