The Rain Washed It Away...

 We spent SO much time this spring and summer having rocks delivered to our house and putting them in our park strip and to the north of our house. 

Tons of rocks.

It wasn't until this week we were able to see what they actually looked like...so see their actual colors.

Why'd we have to wait so long?

It's because the rocks were covered with dirt and dust.

These rocks were buried in our yard, and the yards of two of my neighbors. They were dug up when we all put in our lawns. We live on a very rocky hill. Thanks to some kind neighbors with heavy equipment we unloaded the rocks in a somewhat organized manner and waited.

We waited for the rain.

Th rocks really were gray, all gray. But, after our wonderful two-days of rain this past week, we finally got to see them. And they look beautiful. We are in a drought and the water is SO needed. Cleaning our landscaped rocks isn't the most important reason we need rain, but for a little house on or hill, it made for a wonderful surprise.
