@gingerw How's the rock job going? Did you do the brick edging? I've been distracted from the rock pathway by trying to keep up with the watering, and I bought a bunch of plants as my father's day present from my wife. We have been buying our own gifts for a few years. It's so hard for me to make a list of things I want. I feel like I have everything I need and more.

I spotted a few rocks in a planting around the travel trailer, and stole them to use in a new location. We have 2 trailers - the one that's landscaped is parked permanently and hooked up to utilities. When we bought our place, we were looking for a property that had a guest house, but didn't see anything that suited. We wanted a place where we could stay when we made the 3 hour drive to do doctor appointments and shop. We were tired of staying in motels every time we went to the city. So, I found a nice Holiday Rambler and made it our motel room. Before I retired and moved here, I took a 3 month sabbatical, and lived in the trailer. It was kind of like camping.

That took way longer to tell about a few rocks than it should have. I did at least load them into the wheelbarrow and get them over to my growing pile of rocks. One of them was almost too big and heavy for me - I should have used the hand truck. But it was too cool a rock to have it out of sight under a barberry bush.

More about that another day.

@jimhd Here is my Seger pile [in honor of Bob Seger "Like a Rock"]. Going to town on Saturday and will hunt down cement edging. We'll take the truck and load the back ;))
Like you, we use our travel trailer as a "guest room". We were aiming for a 3 bedroom house when we fell in love with this one, a 2 bedroom. My stepson has stayed in our 19' RPod a few times.
Looking forward to the rock story!
