Sorting interesting rocks

Stone grading today for the fireplace. I've been searching out appropriate rocks and pressure washing them in preparation for renovating the fireplace. Currently I've got most of them layed out on the floor in the rough pattern they will end up on the wall.

There is a mixture of granite, slate and mongrel rocks, so hopefully it should look quite pleasing. Because the rocks have come from the grounds around the house they should blend in with the ones used to build the house that are exposed either side of the fireplace.

Lugging rocks about in the heat is hard work so I had a little siesta in the hammock for an hour or so in the orchard. I deserve it, and one of the joys of working for yourself.
