WE ARE LOVING THE FREE ROCKS!!!
Yes, yes, yes, the price is RIGHT!
We've got a lot of landscaping to so, and thankfully resources are easy to come by. The free wood mulch in the nearest city has been a huge blessing, and these free local rocks have been as well. If there is one thing that our area of the Ozarks has a lot of it is rocks, and we are pleased to be putting them to use.
I'm working on developing the area of our homestead in front of the poultry pens, and so far the idea looks like it'll be an attractive place to grow some food. This is an absolute tank of a raised bed, and there should be four or five more to come. On the bright side, moving all of these rocks gives me a good workout too! Here's a recent haul. Check it out!

We just released our second book ever, "ARMADILLO ESCAPE" - a children's book that was the effort of three generations of our family, from @grandpa-pepper all the way down to Pinkie-Pepper. We're excited about it, so here's some links for you to check out in case you're interested. Thanks!

Make today special!
Its a blessing indeed to have them for free. And since they appear to be mostly flat, its fairly easy to make walls out of them, even without mortar. Its still a lot of work - rocks have one downside: they are heavy. But its a matter of patience. In England they built those walls around the fields over centuries, from the stones they dug up in the fields. And such walls are a great home for lizzards. :)
Yeah, the lizards like them here too!!!!
Always good to get resources for free.
Lifting all those rocks must be building up those muscles...
They have a lot of potential.
