I love your landscape. It looks so peaceful and your house looks grand. And the pool... nice. <br />Ooh...those errant footballs! :) Happy anniversary. Please exempt me from the giveaway because you've given me a lot already! I love that you don't like popularity contests. Here, here! <br /><br />I almost forgot, the pebbles were hard to walk on but now they've compacted pretty well and they're easier. I should have chosen smaller gravel but I was afraid it would scatter too easily. Chalk it up to experience. Hope you have a great day.
