The Paving Project: day 5

The pathways between the larger paved and concreted areas are complete, and the step has been constructed on the Eastern side of the house. I took my cousin's advice, and Sam has placed the steppers quite close together, so those of us with short legs don't have to jump from one to the other. Instead, we can step elegantly.

Stepping from the concrete
patio to the Eastern side of the house.

Stepping from the concrete patio to
the back of the house and the garden shed.
I think I am going to fill in the gaps between
the steppers with white river stones.

Stepping from Gail's Summer Yoga Spot around to the
clothes line. Behind these pavers we intend to plant a
rose that will climb up over the fence, and some shorter
groundcovers that will fill in the spaces.

A new step.

... and this beautiful Japanese maple is an
early Christmas present from my lovely cousin
and her splendid husband. Thanks Matt and Margot.
This will be the centre of attention
in the back garden in a few months.
