I've watched that video before. Perhaps you shared it previously?

Oregon allows rocks to be gathered from quarries they maintain with a $10 permit. There are some nice flat slabs to be had if you get enough muscle to load it into a truck.

I'd really like to find some long lasting perennial flowers to plant. I can't be bothered with any annual plant. The neighborhood has some nice examples to emulate.

One day I'd like to get into beekeeping as a small hobby, but that can wait. Not even sure I'd harvest the honey; I just find bee/ant behavior fascinating.
