    That’s great to hear. I think they’re supposed to pass through here in a few hours as well. We shall see. My pup will be excited for them.

    It’s a bit of learning, but you’ll discover grain trends and more. It’s just a lesser yellow pine overall. Soapstone makes a good trainer as it doesn’t have the grain traits. Have fun!

    Well, the rocks were frozen to the ground, each other and some in the pond. So it was very difficult. I used a crowbar. But I also pried up some of the landscape logs and trimmed the pond plants to they'll be easier to remove when the pond thaws.

    Just to give you an idea how frozen it is...I was sitting on the pond working. o_O
