I dont know ... The big carrot and the big stone kind of go together in my head ... Unrelated, but related in a choice too .... Both from the soil somehow .... We were getting ready for dinner Friday night and Kit came in from the garden kind of chuckling with a carrot in her hand ... Its November and weve still got a few left in the ground. This one was pretty good .... We cut it up and had it with our pasta and actually had some left over, if you can believe it ... It takes a village for a carrot like that one ... And then, today, Pete and Asa, our brother-in-law and nephew came by with a stone that Pete had given to Kit as a birthday present hmmm ... 4? ... 5? years ago. We cant remember when and though we cant remember why (it must have been cause she did something special for him) though Im thinking now it might have been Kits 50th which was actually 7 years ago. We have talked about it every year since... thinking it might go here, thinking it might go there, but it wasnt until this year that we decided where, and I finally, actually, dug a hole. It was a perfect day for it today, sunny and 50, blue sky, fall air, and all went smoothly. Beer and pizza after ... Nice afternoon and the rock is a great addition to the front of the house ... Click the pictures to enlarge them ... The site The rock and tractor arriving .. Pete of Peter Moore Masonry supervising and Asa, his son, driving ... Its schist, from a quarry in Chester, Vermont ... We picked it a long time ago from Petes field where he has a number of them available for clients ... Getting it into position for the tip up One end in the hole Upright ... We had some trouble getting it totally upright, (its a pretty heavy rock) and Sam had the bright idea to hook onto it with the pickup and a rope and tip it to vertical so we could reposition the forks and straps, relift it and dig under it where necessary .. The smiling crew awaiting the pizza and beer Like its alchoices been there Get your own ... call Pete
