Let's Get Those Hands Dirty (in a Good Way!)

Let's Get Those Hands Dirty!

My dream is to live in a world where my house isn't the only one on the block with colors other than grass green and asphalt blue (because that's boring!).

One of Three Things Update

The labyrinth has been tweaked a small bit (I think it was missing one more stretch of patio bricks to make it an even number of rows on all sides) and more loam was added to finish the leveling with the lawn. The better half threw down some grass seed on the outside of the bricks in anticipation of a rainy weekend.  The only question that really remained was what to do with the spaces in between the rows.

While I like the idea of planting creeping thyme, I don't want to run the risk that the ground cover will grow so far over the patio bricks that the pattern is obscured.  I also didn't want to the kids to think they couldn't run and play over the labyrinth.  So, we ended up by filling in between the patio bricks with pebbles that we purchased from Home Depot.  While creeping thyme or some other type of ground cover might have been prettier, it didn't seem as practical.  Most likely the dampness will cause some pretty moss to grow over time (just as it has on our other walkways).
