Well done PM! All that rock work....I like it though it gives my back twinges. I do like the symmetrical design. And those trees! It really is nice!

I'm sure it gave Hubby's back twinges Mike lol! But this was a TEAM project - I told him what I wanted and where I wanted it and he did all the work!

Fortunately we live in town close to everything but still have the mature oak trees in our area - the best of both worlds!

I'll try to get a couple of pics of ours Cathy. Much the same as what you guys have done. Meandering paths using that flat stone. In fact, there is a little birdbath area that Verna is working on now. She's expanding it and we have loose stone laying around the "new" area. We have a couple of small watergardens that we put in 10 or 15 years ago. Between the paths and the watergarden perimeters and waterfalls, we had many MANY tons of rock hauled in and made countless trips to one of the Rock Quarries in Wichita to haul it. It IS backbreaking work. Wonder why in the heck we ever thought we needed WATER GARDENS! But they do drown out all the road noise with the peaceful sound of the waterfalls and fountains splashing.

Wow--what a coincidence--I once found a frog in my backyard playing drums and named it Don! Smart *ss

Now, it may just be "me", but if I was Don, I might have a bit of an issue with being equated to a FROG <LOL>

Here is a shot of some of the rock-work we've done. There are several pictures of the watergardens and more rock pathways and borders in other pictures you can see at

And everybody knows that if you're a frog your name has to be Fred or Frank or Fernando!
Don't tell Kermit!

Mike, nicely done! Love the path. Is that a yellow bird on the birdbath?

Must be a girl thing! Verna thought the same thing when she first saw it one morning. No, it is the bloom of a "Red Hot Poker" plant. There is a closer look at it on the album page on my photos site plus another photo of a much more mature plant that is also in bloom.
