The patio is now more... um... patious? Patioer?

   Late update on this one.

 

   A couple of months ago we finally ditched the last of the "grass" in the back yard. The pavers were extended out for the most part, then they matched the gravel color and worked it all in. While they had the ground tore up doing various things they were also nice enough to tie two channels into the irrigation for us. One is for the native ground plants and will give them the tiniest amount of water. The other channel, which has several drops around the yard, is higher flow for potted plants, the herbs, etc... Even though they're tiny in the shot, there's some new lantana there, gopher plant and some other thing I can't remember the name of at the moment.

 

   Anywhoo... we can now have 1. more people on the patio and 2. have a table sitting out where there's some room instead of being smack in the middle of a 6 foot wide paver walkway.

 

Sometimes it's like I know what I'm doing...

Look, ma! I made cappuccino art!
