I was actually more worried about my meticulously stacked slabs becoming disshevelled.

Then the pile would look like the rest of the yard, and I wouldn't know where to put anything!

I found a clutch of 16 or so snake eggs in the sawdust pile a few months ago. Tried to relocate them, but they didn't make it

Most likely rat snakes, though.
I wish we'd had a little more time to set and talk, but I really did enjoy the time we had.
Yes, Dismal is a rather lovely place. I do believe it was named in February, though.
Here's an early morning from our bedroom window:

I'm glad the kudzu hasn't reached us yet, and I hope it never does. It was originally imported for erosion control, as a cover crop, right? They later imported a beetle to control it, but that beetle is now known as the pine bark beetle.

Now, stands of dead pine are becoming as common as kudzu jungles. So what did they bring over to eat the bark beetles? Yep... asian nine spotted beetles.

That bigfoot character is a bit of a pest- he keeps borrowing my shoes and wearing them out. Says he can't find 'em in size 14 anywhere else.
