It was early in the season, i was wearing a coat, but there were still several others there. The wind was ferocious so I was probably only out there a half hour or less and found a handful. Not the greatest, but I was happy with them!
oh I know that sounds crazy but I'd do it, well in the summer it wouldn't be miserable but you guys were there when it was cold. How big do they get or is that about the size that they are, like fist size?
By summer all the good ones that washed up durung the winter storms and were under the ice and snow are gone. Some of them are 300 lb boulders! The rock shops in town have some really big ones.
wow! well I want a big one but not that big because they are the most beautiful when they're polished right? the ones in the stores are polished?
Sometimes polished. It shows off the pattern better when they have been polished, I think But I have seen big ones outside as lawn ornaments
howdy again melinda010100...well I like the thought of lawn ornaments and the big ones also, and those big ones get washed up on the beach too or do divers get those from the ocean floor?
We don't like hardly any plants around the house because we try to eliminate any hiding places for critters but we like rocks so I think those would be a unique decorative item and conversation pieces to have.
They would be beautiful as landscaping specimens! I think many of the larger ones are found on dry land and were carried around by glaciers 10000 years ago.
I am so glad I don't have lurking venomous creatures to worry about!
haha! howdy again melinda010100! those big ones are totally amazing! I wonder if any of those are for sale down here and how much they'd cost?
yes the snakes down here are bad because they make it so you can't ever totally relax, you have to constantly be on your guard and aware and be very careful every where you go.
Just yesterday morning for example. Remember that I told you that my wife gets up early. She takes Jack out to play around sunrise. But I'm sleeping away, I think it was about 7 oclock and I hear her calling my name, she had opened the bedroom door.
I said Yeah..and she yells "snake!"
So I bold out of bed, pull on my jeans and grab my gun..it was right outside the door on our wood deck so I opened the door and blasted it to smithereens, twice in the head.
But she looked before she opened the door, we have a security screen door and it was shut but she could see the area around the door obviously so that's why we look every time, this was just a non-venomous one but none of them are allowed here because we don't want them around, too creepy. lol.
how are you today?
