Last night, I was looking at my different pictures on a particular social media site and of course came across the one for this house, when I had a revelation... I need to add a walkway around the garage for the garbage cans, so that I wouldn't have to take them through the garage. And since I'm adding the walkway, I ought to decorate it with a gate, a fence, and a privacy wall, as well as some greenery. [:))]

So, that's what I've been working on today.


Aerial view. Oh, and I did shorten the chimney by two feet.


Virtual visitor view, taken from next to the mailbox.

And since I did all that, I realized that I really didn't like having the garbage bins all exposed in the back; doesn't quite make for a pleasant sight when you have a summer barbecue party. [;)] So, I added a couple of short walls and a couple of gates.
