Tennesee Crab Orchard Stone

Beautiful....
worth the wait.... :o)

Thanks TT, I'm thrilled. Although my exhusband (who I tricked into putting this in!) said if we weren't already divorced we would've gotten one over this! lol...Really, though, It makes me happy every day to look at it.:-)

The name of the stone is strange....
Tennessee Crab Orchard ?

Yes, it comes from a town in TN, called Crab Orchard, which was the first established community in the American West. There's a lot of history behind it, but from what I remember after reading all about it, is that it wasn't until 1925 that they began to use it to make buildings. Very interesting and pretty!

Thanks. Fascinating history..

Looks absolutely stunning poetgardener.

Thanks Mushybanny! Now let's see if it survives the storms we've been having! The true test....:-)
