If you haven't noticed...I have been gone from my blog, on vacation to Kansas and Oklahoma to see my son, and two of my sisters, one has a winery! But I am back now and thought that you might enjoy this...
I enjoy my yard so much. I love to be out in it when the days are warm and sunny. I like to see how many of the flowers are blooming, how green the weed-free grass is and I even love to mow, albeit it's easy since I have a riding mower!
I have yet another brick story! When the new garage was built and bricked, there was some left-over brick. I didn't want to just stack it at the back of the yard, but use it instead.
I have a quaint area near some pine trees that is shady and cool in the summer with a sweet little table and chairs. So, I decided to get creative and plant a circle pad of brick for this table and chairs to rest.
The circle came into my head because a third pine tree used to be there (that died) and the small stump was still sticking out of the ground. I used that stump as my starting point and just laid the brick in the circle on a bed of sand.
What to fill the triangle voids with? That was the question. I could have used cement, but that would make this too permanent, so instead, I thought of using the small pebbles that I used in my dry creek bed. It filled the voids well, was not permanent and I could safely set the table an chairs on either the brick or rock.
Now it is more interesting to view, and if I ever need to use any new brick for whatever reason, I can just pluck it out! Sweet!!!
