Garden Project Today - Moving Boulders

Well, now that everything is planted - I decided to relocate some of the garden boulders. Of course, the one I had to move 10 feet was also the largest (approx. 500 to 600 pounds):

I initially tried to roll it - but it just laughed back at me. Remembering the old Archimedes quote: "Give me a Lever and I can move the World".

Dear Wife had recently given me a pick-ax, slate pry-bar, and Block-and-Tackle (my request) for my 75'th birthday:

The end result:
