John - I assume that is you in the picture? You don't have to answer but Haha - I pictured you looking a lot different for some reason. It's always interesting to put a face with forum members after reading their posts for awhile.

I know most people must picture me looking like Tom Selleck but I actually don't.

It seems I was scowling in that picture but this is my happy face. Ones a bit old but found it when hunting others.

Edit: Wow! Could that be me? What happened? I sure don't remember myself looking like that! I didn't realize I look like an old man. What happened to that skinny 17 year old boy? Who is this old fat man?

Yeah, when I see myself in photos I get sick now, I can't believe I look that old. I was ok in my forties but then things really start changing in your fifties for most people. I shaved off my beard to look younger- it was even worse, grew it back immediately. Vanity, sigh,

. Good thing we have tractors to play, a, I mean work with.

We'll see if I can load pictures now, since John advised me how.

Beautiful place and view. I can relate to moving those size rocks. I wish I had some of that black dirt mixed in with my red dirt.

Add a bucket grapple, great for rocks that are just too large to fit in the bucket. Love mine:thumbsup:..

Handy for positioning rocks while landscaping if you don't have a BH/thumb set up , like the large ones on the leftside in my picture...

The dirt looks black because it was wet. We are blessed by God to have about a 10" layer of topsoil but it lacks in nitrogen. The garden did quite well last year after adding a couple of loads of used cow food to it.

The forks and grapple both are wonderful ideas. We have finished moving the larger rock for now. We'll be moving smaller rock for placing in and around the pond once we get it dug.

Have any of you fine gents built a waterfall/pond? It seems the more I research the less I know.
