Landscaping

In addition to the usual spring cleaning, we had some new landscaping done in the back yard this week. One corner of our yard is muddy year round, and also happens to be Clipper's favorite spot to watch the other dogs pass by on the walking path. We got tired of having mud tracked all through the house, so the landscaper recommended a dry creek bed as a solution. In theory, the rocks will provide a place for the water to rest without creating a muddy mess. I am interested to see what the plants look like when they get leaves and blooms.



Eventually we are planning to put in a patio at the base of the porch stairs that will extend over to the edge of this new flower bed/creek bed, but that's a project for another year.
