June 20th, 2016: Balls, Stone Balls

[xoxoxoBruce]

Living is the age of the internet we see pictures of cool stuff all the time. Things we like but would have never seen because
they're a continent, or even half the world, away. When I saw these beautiful stone balls I was surprised the builder/artist is a
local guy. Well not local like in my hood, but local like Eastern PA, maybe 75 miles from me. Plus he does a lot of work much closer,
along the "main line", close to Undertoad's neighborhood.



The dude goes by the name Devin Devine, which is probably a nom de plume, and he has a landscaping company that does beautiful
stone work. We've seen many examples of beautiful stone walls and landscaping, but I haven't seen dry laid balls like this.
I'd tell him how impressed with his work I am, but hesitant to say Hey man, I love your balls.



That center one is under construction. As much as I like the landscaped yards with the beautiful walls and stone features. I also
realize how much more difficult it makes yard maintenance. I've seen the TV shows where they swoop in and do yard make-overs
with water features and stuff that looks like a Disney World beer garden. Then when the show's in the can, they move on leaving
the homeowner to learn the hard way just what they've gotten themselves into. Best wait till you're rich enough to have a full time
gardener/groundskeeper or two.
