    This is the path from our house to the barn.

    We travel it several times daily, and since we were wearing a path through the grass, decided to make a real path with something to look at and smell as we go back and forth. We have hummingbird feeders, a bird watering station, and plants that attract birds and pollinators.
    Our path has worked out well for all of us. Sure wish y'all could come walk it with me!

    What a lovely path to brighten your walk. Very nicely done. Was it much work finishing off like you did?

    I totally love it! I'd probably wear out a pair of shoes just going back and forth for no particular reason at all! :D
    What all do you have planted along it?

    I love the casual look of it... I'd love to know what's planted along there too.

    A trip down your path starts with a picture. From paths to beards the window to your daily activities is open a little more.

    Thank you,

    What do we have planted? Well, there is a Clytemnestra rose on the big ashe juniper, Pearl d' Or, Lady Hillingdon, and Marie Pavie roses: a growing clump of mealy blue sage; two lavenders; cedar sage; two small Wafer Ashe trees; a clump of Greigg's Blue Mist flower; West Texas mallow; Peruvian rock rose; and a bunch of Indian Coral berry.
    No, I don't overplant!

    OMG, I love the look of that path. The setting is just so comfy, homey looking. I could very easily and happily become a garden ornament there, if you hear some rustling behind the Clytemnestra just throw a donut and cup of tea over there once in a while and I'll try not to bother you. ;)

    just love it. u ever... walk barefoot? when i was little i remember all people in grandma's village walked barefoot no matter what (in the summer, of course).
    I also loved it.
    Still do it sometimes when I visit parents and work a bit in my flower garden.
