Divide And Conquer

That was it!!!

Take this long, overgrown flower bed that I couldn't even wrap my mind around, and divide it into four smaller, more manageable beds!

And I would do it with a lovely brick walk way!! (These are the kinds of revelations that make James slowly turn to look at me with raised eyebrows and doubt-filled eyes.) I had never built a brick walkway, but I had built a brick patio. Sure my dad was there to help me and this time I would be on my own, but, hey, why not. Besides, James and I had just visited Porches restaurant in Wesson.

The brick walkways around this old, country home turned favorite lunch spot, were worn, wobbly, and charming. Surely my best effort would at least duplicate worn and wobbly.

So I started with a center medallion.

There was a big stack of pavers up by the pole barn, and not wanting to look a gift-horse in the mouth, I planned on using a bunch of them.

Then I framed the medallion with treated 2x4s and called it a day.

Until tomorrow,

Shelli
