Re: Limestone walkway

Hi Ceres,
Ain't that stonework a blast??  Just so much fun, I bet you'd like to do it
all over again next week-NOT.
Our garden tours around here are free, as well as a MG type of weekly tours
called "Summer in the Country"  Some of the places we've visited: a Bison
farm, complete with fancy chickens and racing pigeons-A real great pond, a
couple of acres-A pheasant breeding operation, ever heard of black
pheasants?- a couple of real neat nurseries.  Just that kind of stuff.  We
all pitch ideas, and our MG coordinator from the extension service helps
make it happen.
