Literally. I spent a great deal of time this Fall hauling tons of rocks around. We decided to put rock around our fire pit so mowing around it would be easier. We also put rock around our front tree because nothing but weeds and poison ivy would grow underneath it. Once we got the garden cloth down and the border done, it was my job to haul rocks. That took a long time! And boy, was it a good work out! The girls had a blast playing on the giant rock pile and got nice and dirty from it. Even Bella enjoyed playing on it. I sometimes found it a little difficult to dig out rocks from the pile, what with kids and critters in the way! 
I'm glad it is finally done and I think it looks pretty good. It is much easier to mow around both places now and I don't have to worry about anyone getting into the plethora of poison ivy around the tree! Slowly but surely, we are getting rid of the poison ivy and I'm even daring to hope that I might not come down with a bad case of it again next year. Now I just have to convince the girls to leave the pretty rocks in place rather than add them to their ever-growing collection!
