What do you do with... stones?

I wish I had enough money to order some trucks with gravel. I would make gravel paths in my garden. Some bigger stones and rocks would be great too, to decorate the garden with and for a "rock garden with cacti". The gravel paths are welcome because of the fight against mud but I would need at least 10 trucks if not more.

Once I made little creatures out of stones. They were Valentine's Day gifts for my children.

Where I live you won't find many stones but I have a few on my side table. Simple stones that I put on a painful or itchy part of my skin. A few years ago on my painful eyes too. Why? Because the cold stone makes a hot spot cool off and can a painful skin calm down. A stone is not as cold as ice cubes plus the skin won't get wet. My skin is allergic to water and this is a good solution if it comes to a bit itchy and infected. If it's worse I need to take medication. I haven't used the stones for a long time but I still keep them. You never know.

I can no longer use stones on my eyes because of my dry eyes. I cannot make tears which means I have to use all kinds of fluids to keep my eyes "wet" to prevent them from infections. Touching my eyes is very painful and my eyelids literally stick to my eyeballs if I close them for an hour or two. It makes sleeping hard and at night I need to add drops, etc too. Each time something different because it looks like I am allergic to these meds as well. They too cause itchiness which makes me rub my eyes for hours.
