I laid out the stone to measure it for the garden path. It turns out that I have enough stone to take care of the plan. It is not good to walk on. This is actually a job for next spring so I did not yet prepare the job properly, I just wanted to measure before the truck dissolves. The stone dust I laid will have to settle then every stone will have to be removed and levelled to its neighbour. Because it is away from the house, I am not too worried about the drainage. Basically it is just a footpath to the vegetable garden.
This said, I decided that I need a little more stone anyway. I want to join the patio with the path so I need a few more square feet. I guess one or one and a half truckloads will do it. I guess I need about 40 square feet of stone. Fortunately this part is already compressed so I can finish the joining section as I have the patio. Only the path must wait for 2014.
FYI: So far, I have made 13 trips to the quarry for stone at $20/trip.

The stone is coming along nicely and adds just the right touch being natural. I have been struggling with what I want to lay for pathways to make getting to the gardens easier, I may have to break down and have stone laid.
Love Love the stones and more stones. Yeag!

LOL, thank you (for the congrats and the remembering 😛 😀 )
It’s really looking splendid…!! Coming along quite nicely…. We live in the woods, too. When we bought our a frame, my husband thought we could use it as a weekend getaway…..(he knew I wanted to live in the country.!) …..so, I just started moving all our stuff bit by bit…and he didn’t object at all!! He had no choice….really..!! :). The previous owner had CLEARED the underbrush ….!! HORRIFYING….! I just planted some hostas, and, the hardest thing of all: left everything alone…. Thirty years later, the woods are a delight, and my refuge.. Some ivy and periwinkle have taken over, but it is a lovely green in the winter. We have deer that come to the pond, and last spring, a duck who was quite lost, stayed for about a week. A lesser scaup…. A beautiful bird. I did make one mistake… I planted an invasive plant…that was oxygenating…(in an aquarium, not a pond!) and it does provide cover for the frogs. It’s a coontail..bottlebrush plant for fish tanks …..
It is so beautiful Laura! It makes me happy just knowing you live in such a beautiful spot! Also makes me long for a tiny house of my own.
This is utterly quaint and gorgeous! Your tiny dream is really shaping up. You must be so satisfied but I hope you don’t hurt your back!

It will be well worth the money spent. Where does the path lead to from the house?
To the vegetable garden. Most importantly, the tomatoes!
Grandma would so get that!
