Nope, this is not about rock ‘n roll or even the Rolling Stones, today is all about real rocks, real stones. You know, the ones you find on the ground, in a stream, in the ocean. Somebody I know likes to collect rocks. Pretty rocks. Interesting rocks. Significant rocks. Rocks that grab her fancy, which happens all the time. Heavy duty hobby if you ask me. I would suggest that we create a rock garden to give them a home but with my luck they will sprout and grow and we would end up with more rocks. Happy International Rock Day.
