A negative of having bird feeders = the sprouting of the seeds the birds spray on the ground. Margaret wanted to cover the space with a set of stones, and found what sounded like a quarry. I dutifully drove her 50 miles on Saturday.
I am glad I went. The owner Brad Tracy is a qualified geologist, spent several years in the oil patch, and showed us around his personal museum with rocks from around the world. Flagstone walkways, staurolite crosses, granite boulders – he has a story about just about any rock you can think of from Israel, Italy, Peru and elsewhere. If you find yourself in Lakeland, seek him out for a tutorial on rocks and the history each embeds over the millennia.
And, the selection and prices of the stones Margaret got was excellent. He also stocks a wide range of pine bark, mulch, palms and nursery items. Well worth the drive.
