Boulders
by Zia ~ July 11th, 2005. Filed under: House.On Saturday morning, Steve dragged me out of a fluffy warm bed to go buy rocks at Marenakos, a stoneyard in Issaquah. (Every time I hear the name, I want to break out in a line dance and sing “Hey, Marenakos!”) When we got there, he chose 10 massive boulders, which he then had a truck deliver because they were too big and heavy to load into the jeep. The truck dumped them in the alley.
Problem: Boulders do not get lighter after a truck delivers them; Steve cannot move them by himself.
Resolution: Coerce Zia into helping.
So Steve removed the back fence and made me help him roll boulders into the yard. I’m complaining, but you know what? He’s done wonders with this space. These pictures don’t really do it justice.
And the remaining boulders, still in the alley:
