Spring is a few months away yet, but I've started to think about a nice path from the top of the driveway over to the shed. And how to light the path. And what I want to do for landscaping around the shed and around the path.
I talked to Rick about it and he told me to do what I want, that he'll be around for the "grunt" work.
We have to go around roots from our silver maple. Silver maples are very shallow-rooted trees and we have a ton of roots that we don't want to disturb. Rick wants to be able to easily mow from the front side yard, to the shed, and to the back yard without a lot of trouble. I asked him if he thought he might be able to get from the front yard to the back, maybe by going behind the shed. He sighed and said, "Whatever". So we'll see.
I've been perusing Pinterest and other sites, looking for a nice path that I might be able to copy.
As for the deck, I will stain that grey, preferably to match as closely to the shed color as I can. With black railings. I'm going to start looking for some outdoor furniture, although I don't want anything exotic. Maybe some Adirondack chairs (painted in Sonic Plum?) and a few benches. And some nice planters for deck flowers. A small table.
So I've started looking. I want to be ready to go when the weather warms up. Stay tuned!
