Omar found in the vineyard!

This rock was excavated when the floor in the living quarters was being dug.  It is very round and seems to be made of granite, which is not commonly found in our area of mostly limestone.  According to our plumber, this rock is an omar, rolled in front of the glaciers until it became a sphere.  We've cleaned our omar up and it sits on the south side of the barn for all to see.  Check out this website with more details about omars.
