Our Little Path.

We have lived with dirt and mud for the

last year but not long after we moved in,

we found these lovely Celtic designed

stepping stones ~ hard to see with the

snow on them. They look like this:

We did encounter a problem over the

wet and rainy summer this year. It

turns out, placing the stones on dirt

makes for a very slippery path when

the rain soaks the Earth. So we had to

find a solution as the stones are used

at both the front of our house and in

our back garden. We ended up buying

loads of gravel. It was a big job to

hand shovel all the way down the

windy path but we did it! Just in time

for Halloween and I'm so glad, as the

day before, we had quite a bit of rain.

Our little guests didn't slip and slide,

and now in the snow, the stones show

the bath for all to walk on. We added a

few solar lights to give some energy

to the path when it's dark out. Love it!
