I've always said I'm not a lawn person but I must admit that one of the problems of having such a small lawn is that the traffic gets concentrated in such a small area and then the condition of the lawn gets worse faster. The only reason I care at all about the lawn is because it provides a nice border to the garden (ha ha, I know that's backwards)!! So I thought it would be useful to put some stepping stones in.
But why not make them fun? My girls love the new hopscotch stepping stones and even if they didn't, I think they'd be fun for adults too. Every time I cross the backyard I plan to hop!
I love it! Such whimsy! We need more fun in our everyday ;)

I really like those colours you used. I'm not brave enough for that I think. I do need to repaint the side of the garage though so maybe I could do something like this. My husband hit it with a stupid digger derrick and scraped up the side. I guess I can look on the bright side. I can have a purple blue and violet garage now.

A door is a small thing and easy to change! Actually, I'm getting rid of the yellow - it was there when I moved in.
Purple blue and violet sounds fun!
