On earth and stones
Penthesilea:
Another picture that comes to my mind thinking stones, is Ennis putting up the rocks for the fireplace on their first campsite.
And by pure chance and on a slightly silly note, I just came across this old photo caption yesterday:

Very funny, friend! Your wildflower pictures are great! That flower is called chickweed, latin name Cerastium arvense. It makes a delicious tea.

I think that put a stone up. Is the southern vernacular for headstone. My family was from Texas. They often
used that term. "Putting up a headstone," or we got them a "headstone." The term "stone," is simply a shortened version of that, and an understanding that you would understand that was the inference.

This is interesting. Thank you, everyone. Now I am wondering why AP had Jack eat two bowls of stew, two bottles of beer, four of Ennis's stone biscuits, and a can of peaches one evening early in their Brokeback Mountain adventure. It is interesting to me that all these things except the peaches were even numbered things. Did he eat stew because he was stewing about things? the stone biscuits, that means they were made by flour ground on a stone, correct? And peaches have stones.

Hi Lee, I respectfully disagree. I don't think that's chickweed (Stellaria media) OR Cerastium arvense. To me it looks like a kind of phlox.
