Front Walkway & Garden

These are two pictures from the front porch looking out to the river stone walkway and gardens. I am pleased with how well the stones remained in place over the winter months. Since this is the first stone path that I have 'put together' I had been concerned about frost heaves, etc. I am encouraging moss to grow between the stones and have even transplanted some little clumps from other areas of the yard. I am trying to make the path look aged so that it will match the house! Some of the flowers have re-seeded themselves amongst the stones in the path and I will gently pull up the tiny seedlings this weekend and add them to my other gardens. I have noted that the Hysop plant's color is less vivid and deep this year compared to last year. Perhaps it requires more plant food so that will be added to my growing 'to-do' list for the weekend.
