Dry stone walling is one of the most elegant and beautiful things in this land of volcano spewed and river rocks. Half of our volcano is now lying fragmented around the province and a great deal of it on my farm with a little help from the Caldera river that has brought all sorts of rock treasures here over the millennia.
There is nothing more satisfying than seeing this abundance of rock and rubble sculpted into beautiful dry stone walls. Little fragments of order in the jungle. Small testaments to human labor and productivity etched in the landscape.
We have recently disturbed hundreds and thousands of years of rock when we cleared for a new road into the farm over the last few weeks. We are now making something beautiful with the help of a neighbor and a lot of hard work. Nothing good is easy.
