Well...

Hubby helped me place this wonderful huge rock with his tractor.  No way a normal human could lift this.  I worked.  I arranged.  I dug.

Hubby arrives a few days later and says, I've found a better rock!!!  It has a hollow and a stream build into it.  So we spent a  little time dragging the other "perfect" rock out and placing the second.

It was so heavy the tractor had trouble lifting it with a chain.  Hubby has this wonderful idea.  As this rock is suspended from the tractor with a chain I am to take a rope and twirl this "perfect" rock in position.  It didn't happen.  I struggled.  Hubby did most of the work with his Kubota.

Removing the liner from the tractor tire was quite the job.  It had to be emptied.  I removed the tacks that held the liner in place.  

Hubby made short work of removing it from the ground

and delivered it to the new location.

The old tractor tire will live on in a new location. 

Water will circulate from the rock/water fall into tire.

I have much more to do but I am tired for today.

Even in our yard I found treasure!

What Men Will Do To Recover Balls...

Remember the tennis ball from yesterday's post that Ki dropped down the hole under the rock.  The gentlemen in the family decided they were going to recover the ball.

This equipment is supposed to be for working but just as many times it used for playing.  Is a tennis ball worth the use of this much fuel??

Raising the rock, the dogs search for the ball.  No luck and I am cringing because I can just see this rock dropping.

 Under the huge rock is a post laying across the hole.  The post is removed after the Testosterone Team figures out how to do it successfully.

Maggie digging for the ball with assistance by Andrew.

Here is the rather large hole and tunnel under the rock.

The rock was lowered safely in place with access to the hole.Now the dogs can seek the ball at their leisure.  I am amazed at the energy and thought expended on the recovery of one tennis ball!  I believe it has rolled to the center of the earth.  Maybe the dogs will dig a storm shelter here or access a new spring...and this is what we do for fun At The Farm.
