The property my mom lives on has a section of lake that runs along a little way down the road from her. This is where I have gathered the colorful stone for my greenhouse path. As you have read in previous posts, we are fixing up a pond. So off to my mom's a few days ago, my sweetie and I went in search of the perfect stones to place around the pond's edge.
This is still a public lake and I think a few people gather on the weekends as evidence from the fireplace made on the bank. However, only a handful of people come out here. 
I love the clay stones that lay around the waters edge the most. When the stones are dry, their colors are red and gray, when the stones are wet, the gray turns into a turquoise color. 
While sweetie was gathering the larger heavier stones, I gathered up small pebble size stones. These are great to fill in the path spaces and for flower beds.
The day was hot and the water cool and inviting. My mom and I slipped off our shoes and waded in the shallow edge. 
Here are the stones waiting to be placed around the pond. Each one is so different in size and color. I will be working this weekend and hopefully have pond pictures. However, sweetie thinks there is not enough and that we may have to go back and get some more. I am ready! I promised Sophie she might get to go. She has not been to a lake yet and I can't wait to see how she enjoys running around. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
