Romantic Date At The Stone Yard
My husband, David, really knows how to woo a girl, at least a girl like me. Last Saturday he romanced me at the local stone yard. We went just to look...at rocks. Be still my beating heart!
I have been dreaming of putting in a flagstone patio for the two and a half years since we ripped out the cement lawn.
All that gorgeous stone was way too tempting.
We ordered 600 lbs. of stone to be delivered this Saturday, ready or not.
I picked out the large stone on top (in the photo above). It is shaped like a big teardrop. My plan is to place the large stone in the middle of the patio with smaller stones surrounding it. Once we got home we realized that we didn't order enough stone.
I have decided that we should lay a couple of inches of sand underneath the stone to help level it. That seems easier than tilling the patch of compacted dirt that is our backyard.
