Garden projects completed at last!

There are two important outdoor improvements in the garden this summer.

One of Bob's projects was installing the rain barrels which he purchased last May. This is a state-of-the-art rain barrel installation. The PVC pipes are removable for winter storage and reconfigured to attach to the underground drain pipe.

But before he could even begin to install these, the brick walkway had to be put in place first. This walkway leads to the tool shed at the side of the house. Note the herringbone pattern of the bricks as it curves around the deck.

Not only does the walkway go around the deck, it also bifurcates (Michael really likes this word) towards the compost bin behind the garage.

As these areas are the most heavily traveled, it sure is a welcome improvement!

The rain barrels will prove their worth in the years to come as well.
