Apriel: Maybe it's the phonetic spelling.

Sorry. A pathetic try at humor. I'm just trying to keep my sense of humor while I pump 12" of water out of my basement. And I don't even live near a flood plain.

Regardless, it's a beautiful stone. As I watch your series unfold, I see some stones are quite skillfully and artistically carved, while others are not. They all make me want to get some carving tools and give it a try. Looks like a very difficult, unforgiving material to work. Where do you suppose the graveyard is for failed 18th century headstones?
