uh huh...that's where I'm gonna bury Maggy...under the live oak with a big ol' Massachusetts rock on top...

"heh..." Eeeek...it's the fun police!!! Give me your address Maggy and I'll send you a flag for that pile. There's something really unAmerican (is that a word) about a pile without a flag on the 4th. You should shoot bottle rockets out of it or something. Make it multi-task to prove its pileworthiness to SquirrelFeeder so she'll get in the spirit and add a few branches to it! Show the world you're patriotic by topping it off with the flag I'll donate to your cause!! Me and havalotta HAVE ROCK PILES to share!!! We're gonna blow some piles out of the water in this contest and you can take that to the bank.

Exclamation looks like we have a new PAP member!

havalotta --
thank YOU for posting the very first ROCK piles!
rock piles are indeed part of the pile appreciation program .

equilibrium - nice piles in post 44.

I will be expecting some rock pile pics from you as well

thelorax - I'm really liking post 67 pic #3. I'm sure they will be occupied shortly.
looks like a little compound about to happen. you'll probably see a gated community next time you visit.

maggynolia - those two piles are fabulous - I'm kinda partial to post 76's pile

"now that I think about it I'd like to give a small rock pile a try."
I'll be expecting some rock pile photos from you too missy!

and our newest member of PAP, squirrelfeeder
not only for allowing "one stick at a time...or two...three"
but also for understanding the importance of planting native - even when it's very tempting to do otherwise.
this is for you squirrelfeeder:

p.s It appears we're in the minority here, but I gotta agree with you on the "flag" issue.

Bubbleoffplumb I am sooooo glad neither SF or I were drinking anything when I read post #95. The certificate of appreciation is priceless. Thank you and I'll be sure to be on the lookout for some rock piles.

A few years back my daughter participated in a student ambassador program and one of the requirements was to offer a small patriotic gift to someone that looked like they needed a pick me up each day or as a way of saying thank you for a kind act. I'm sure buried somewhere in a box I have some of those small patriotic tokens.....I'll have to try to find them.

My current rock pile may not be exactly what you were looking for but tree frogs and lizards like to call some of the crevices home....

If you add more than one rock she'd probably qualify for the PAP contest. :eek:
