OF PEBBLES AND MUD

As mentioned in the previous post, we bought lots of things for the backyard. Once home, we hit the backyard and started working.

It was a nice afternoon, cool and breezy, with minimal sunlight. Finished with plants, we started working on the pebbles. One piece at a time… With lotsa love…

We completed the task after several hours, and B, being excited to try out the result, started pouring water onto the spot. It started flooding a little bit and being naughty or whatever that you call it, he stepped on parts of the area. To my horror, the pebbles started to sink and water turned into mud! There goes our hard work for the afternoon! Looking at the mess, we called it off for the day.

Being the smarter one, I actually thought of layering the area with sand or smaller stones first. Only then, the pebbles will follow. But I kept it to myself, since B is the Project Manager - if you know what I mean… :P Hehehee…
