Rocks? Did someone mention rocks?


There is in fact a large hole in the ground here! Pretty spectacular.

wow - is anyone brave enough to explore the "large hole in the ground," Who knows what they'd find at the bottom.

Had a really good day. Got everything for Thanksgiving except the wine to make the gravy. Thanksgiving is mostly my dad's recipes plus a few I gathered along the way. Miss my dad most on Thanksgiving because I remember sitting and watching him make the food all day. He's been gone 14 years now. Hard to believe. This year will be missing my daughter and grandchildren too since she is at basic but my son will be here so it will be nice. The gnome pattern I got is adorable.

@perchie.girl! I look at the picture and mentally yell ROCKS!
Yes, I am a rock hound/enthusiast. DH just presented me with a box of Geodes last week that I gleefully split. I have cases and shadow boxes full of rocks from fossils to amethysts.

Where we live was once a saline ocean. Lots of limestone, sea shell fossils and the like but nothing really spectacular to find as far as spectacular stones are concerned.

If I looked out my back door and saw that scene. I'd be outside and never in the house!

I love rocks! They make great souvenirs.

@Alaskan Did you fire up the wood stove? We have installed our VT Castings Vigilant in the house and boy, does it cook! DH is super skinny and always cold, so we are very relieved about the oil bill. The dog lies next to it and falls into a stupor.

@ronott1 - If it’s never cold you can’t ski! Or go sledding! Make a snowman, enjoy hot chocolate after ice skating. Such a shame.

It is a weird place-- Snow is not too far away from here. I have to go up to the mountains to find it though.

Lake Tahoe is a couple of hours east of me
