If I could get someone in Ireland to ship authentic bog peat (reasonably) for burning in my rocket mass stove, I would. That smell is heaven on earth.Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273144680832594458.post-77712520717265721052018-03-26T16:58:30.904-07:002018-03-26T16:58:30.904-07:00Thanks for the walking tour!

When I do shots of our property it's usually because I'm cropping out some crap in the yard that we meant to pick up/put away and then, well, we didn't. LOL. <br /><br />I saw your comment above regarding Etsy. I saw, this week, a woman who I kid you not was successfully selling bags of DIRT. a 2 lb bag of red Georgia soil for $14 plus s/h. God bless her. Perhaps I should be looking at our yard differently.
