ROCK NESS MONSTER



The Flaming Bore is not one to waste a lovely autumn day by staying inside and doing housework that has been accumulating in mass quantities over the summer, so I spent most of the daylight hours yesterday piddling outdoors. I watered plants, gathered leaves, deadheaded, went for a walk--twice--and re-arranged rocks. The latter is sort of a compulsion with me. Some people hoard food or clothes or junkyard finds. I hoard rocks.  

Subject to re-arrangement yesterday was my Rock Ness Monster. It had sort of gotten lost in its original spot, as the holly bushes in front of it have grown taller over the years, so I moved it to a new spot in the backyard that makes it a little more noticeable.  

Happy swimming in the garden, Nessie!
