This is decent structural stuff, but we may have to dress up in our ninja outfits and go rock-hunting on the highway again in quest of the deeply black and fractured stuff.

We’re holding in principle to our determination not to buy more plants. We’ve weakened a few times, with a daisy and a hydrangea, but we resisted the 13.79 distressed tree sale. We could have gotten a really tall redbud for that. But…we’d have had to dig the hole. And figure where to put it.
