rock shopping

The need for pavers on the side led me to McVey Stone on Arsenal Street in Watertown. Virtually around the corner! I've been there several times just for fun and to hunt for decorative rocks to place in the garden. Rocks have many virtues, such as needing no care whatsoever, but especially useful is the contrast they provide when placed near a low growing plant or flower.

side of the house

Since the side of our house gets the most sun, I decided to pull up the grass there and make as much room as possible for perennials. To create an inviting path amongst the flowers I set in bricks that had been left by the previous owners while pondering where I could get paving stones without having to drive to the suburbs.
