A long time ago I was active in landscaping our yard. No more. Until Labor Day. This year I fixed up the front bed. I previously made a dry river through it, with drip lines to water some plants. As of this morning, all the plants but 2 had died, and the "river" was covered in dirt from a previously blown-out water line. We had also used wood chips in the area. They look nice for a couple days, but the wind blows them around and the sun bakes them.
We started by removing all the rocks, boulders, and giant pine cones.

We decided to completely remove the wood chips. Even the neighbor kid took pity on us and helped out.

We added some bricks to create a boundary.

Then I recreated a "river" bed with the boulders and rocks.

And we planted flowers to make it pretty again! Imagine that! Flowers in a flower bed.
