Karen, this one's for you :) I don't have pictures of the finished path yet but these are the first few steps with the moss I added on Friday. I've got to collect a lot more if I'm going to squeeze it in around all the rocks but this is a start.

I basically finished the path yesterday although the last stones aren't done. The rain the night before finally made that area too wet and slippery so once it's dried out a little I'll be able to get them placed properly. I was so excited to get this project almost finished and I couldn't stand it - I just wanted to start planting! Grabbed my pail and trowel and headed for the woods. We have hundreds of Hepaticas blooming right now and it's the perfect time to make selections of those that bloom with different colors. I found one with the most beautiful deep violet-blue and it has already found a special spot in one of the pockets I created along the path :) I'll post more pictures once I get a few more plants in the ground. The whole area used to be a beautiful Hosta border but after almost ten years with two years of drought and total neglect they've withered away :( I'll be replanting with some Hostas but will add a blend of other plants to liven it up a bit!
