At the end of last week, our friends at Land Design Associates called to say they had two empty days in their schedule and they could tackle a few projects we’ve had waiting for them. This time around: paths!
Out back we started with this, knowing that eventually we’d add steps the same rice stone we’ve used elsewhere:

Out front, we envisioned adding stepping stones here:
And now we have this:
Pleased to inform you that the stepping stones are Bambino-approved…
Wow, that looks so… grown-up. So there you go. Inside the house may be a mess but outside the paths are done!
Nice! Happy Labor Day!
