…Mr. OMSH completed the rock path and he saw that it was good.

After 24 bags of river pebbles, and not a little “umph”, the rock path has been completed.

We still need to scrub the mold/moss/slime that has built up on the side of the house, get gutters to divert some of that water build-up, and I’ve got to save some money to buy my large pottery planters I want, but the path is DONE!

And?
Our little pot-bellied pig, Jack, did us the disfavor of pooping on it first thing.

Not gonna work li’l guy.

Jack is a bit of a ninny and doesn’t like his paws to get wet from the dew when he goes outside in the morning. Needless to say, we have a bit of training to do with this old dog. And this old dog? HE IS gonna learn a new trick - or at least a new place to deposit his tricks.

Eeeeww.

   It looks awesome!

   Funny, when I put pea gravel in our dog run, our dogs wouldn’t poop on it to save their lives. What the heck?!

   Looks great!!

   It does look great, but I must say all I can think of when I look at it is the dog yard we had when I was growing up and all the disgusting piles of (big) dog poop all over the rocks. Obviously Jack shares the vision.

   I do think it look goods.

   My back is appreciative that I am at work during the daytime and have to limit these “projects” to weekends.

   The new path looks great. I see your ‘maters are looking great also. Mine is starting to bloom! If I survive Bible School this week I promise photos on my lovely ‘mater plant next week!

    Looks great, I want chickens too. So they can eat all the TICKS in our yard…yuck** Our dachshund doesn’t like to get her feet wet in the a.m. so she only puts her front 2 feet in the grass and pees on the patio. She would love to have a rock bed like Jack. Ha, Ha!

    So, how did you get him to do it? My bags of mulch are NOW growing weeds, next to the weed pile that is to be my “landscaping”. You are one lucky lady. Wonderful work Mr OMSH
