We went out to a rock pile to pick up some rocks===took 2 grandkids with us!!
I saw a pice of what I could tell was a very large rock under everything. Just kidding I said I wanted that one and the boys said "if grandma wants it she will have it"
It took a lot of work but they just would not leave it there === got it home and it is LARGE!!
I had it put by the garden where I could see it from the house;-)))
It has a lot of dirt on it and did not come clean with the water hose======How do we clean it up??? what do I use to bring out the true rock????
Thanks,Ann

Just give it time, rain and wind. It'll appear. Otherwise use a steel brush.. :)
