When I walk around out here, I’m always finding rocks that I like for some reason or other. Sometimes, it’s a good pigment source. Sometimes, there’s a fossil imprint I like. If it’s small enough, it comes home with me and I add it to my little rock piles on the counter.
Now, a person can’t keep adding rocks to the pile indefinitely. It would take up the whole space, and it would get pretty heavy. But, I do admit, I’m guilty of doing that sometimes. Usually Rob makes a comment that gives me the idea that it’s time to put them out.
When it feels like ‘enough is enough’, I’ll gather them all up and take them out to my garden. I put the ones I’m pretty sure I’ll use on my rock-smashing rock.
The rest go into the walls of my garden retainer beds. If I need one, I can usually find it sooner or later.
Current Rock Pile
Here’s my assorted rock pile on the counter as of today. There’s an old bone fragment there, too. It’s getting close to the ‘need to take it outside’ point.
