No way! I would get the worst headache ever!

yes, one reason why i don't get it going as any kind of a habit. even half a cup of weak coffee a day is enough to set me up for withdrawal headaches (and yes, if i eat too much chocolate i can also get a headache if i quit that too).

Almost time for my coffee and 2nd breakfast :).

Between laundry loads and after my egg (over easy) on hash browns for a 1st breakfast — I did some reading of Theodore Roosevelt quotes. Took a pleasant online look at his ranch an current park in N Dakota, near the Montana border.

An interesting person and I had read an account by his nephew, many years ago. Roosevelt took the boy on a hike using a map and compass. There was no trail. You can see where the idea for my morning reading came from in yesterday's Bob Dylan quote ;).

Anyway, I have done that during my younger years. Forested mountains, straight to the intended destination. There may be no path or road there, but whether there is or not, you have the map. You have a compass. Daylight — there's the sun. 🧭 Go where you want to Go.

That is a couple of lovely gardens. I would like very much to be sitting there, with a coffee or a cup of tea
Me too. It looks easy to me, but then that is my young brain thinking. I am now wondering how many rocks DD and I will need and how far we have to haul the rocks. lol

I had my coffee and light breakfast of boiled eggs while watching gardening videos. I am trying to decide if I will order the big truckload of cow manure this year. DD and I might go together and split the cost. It is aged. DS is putting metal boxes together for me and next he will have to take me to get a yard of compost in the truck. I sure miss all the rabbit bedding that we composted down.

as you get older you discover how heavy those rocks get... we have many tons of them here.

people don't like to consider the longer term and more realistic facts of such beautiful things, but really when you do something like that, take the pictures because it won't look like that forever and later on you'll wonder where those rocks went (they settled and got frost heaved and weeds and grass grew around them and ...).

it's all great exercise, i love rocks as each one can tell a story, we have rocks from all over the country here (a geologist would freak out if they found this place hundreds of years later as they'd know right away that someone had to have moved the rocks here). and i should leave a coded note written in something pretty permanent because there's no religious intention in this - just that we like rocks. no wirgins sacrificed (that i know of).
