This is one of several projects planned for Purdyville this spring and summer. I will tell you more when there is more to tell. In the meantime, there are many other areas of the garden to explore. In my garden overview post, I promised to describe many of the areas on the map. I kind of got stuck on the front walk, and it’s time to change focus.

Hi Kathy,
That’s a great idea! My husband will be celebrating his birthday next month and I just made a plan almost similar to this one. Anyway, belated happy birthday to you! I will wait for the update on this wonderful project. 😀
I wish I could get rock for my birthday.
Happy belated birthday!!
exciting~~~
Three cheers for the new sidewalk project!
Nothing says Happy Birthday like a big pile of gravel – or soil, or mulch for that matter! Can’t wait to see the progress!
That is a wonderful birthday present. Full of thought and the promise of a dream realized.
