Trying a new thing and having a good time with it -- a little raked circle "Zen" pebble garden beneath the bird feeders. We're adding to the design today (more pea gravel and some sparkly pebbles, too), and then we'll rake and carve in the pattern. But it's a fun little serene space where grass won't grow ... period ... and it's an easy cleanup and makes it easier to see the birds when they're feeding, too.

This picture doesn't really capture it, but you can get an idea, anyway. Eventually we hope that entire circle will be surrounded by flowers, with only a little path in.
