@@GardenHappy You never think that just being in the garden can harm you. A few years ago I was walking along a paver area using my leaf blower to remove the leaves. Just walking along and then I heard this loud crunch. Believe it or not, I had broken my narrow fibula leg bone! The only thing I can think happened is that I may have stepped on a patch of monkey grass between the stones causing this to happen. I was still able to walk on it until I got into a boot and then had surgery. But my foot and toes still have a tight feeling that is not normal and it will probably stay that way. So that is why safety is always important in the garden.

Oh no that is so horrible. I’m sorry that happened. I can totally relate to what you are talking about. I am 60 years old and now when something happens to me it takes twice as long to heal if ever at all.

Hey Liz, a happy update as usual. The stepping stones look great in the ground but I always figured you had them raised for function...as you said mud control in rain. You have to decide which is more important to you...looks or function 🤔

I was thinking about putting gravel, bark or any kind of decorative rock around the stones, but the problem is I have a large overhead tree that drops a ton of leaves in the fall.

Good morning, and thank you for your comment. Don’t be disappointed or worried when hummingbirds leave. They migrate from Canada to Mexico as the seasons change so they might just be passing through your area on their way to their destination. Or perhaps they built a nest in the neighbors backyard, so are staying closer to home. I noticed every year I put feeders out my hummingbird numbers increase so don’t give up. 🥰👍❤️Liz
