And I love the way the morning sun shines through the Sunflower leaves. Just imagine how tall they will be in a few weeks!

Nice Walkway there rebbetzin. I like how you lined the path with stones, it gives a nice touch. I can see a nice fountain at the end of the path towards the back ;) .

That front entrance walkway has gone through lots of changes over the years!

And here it is just a few minutes ago, the Morning Glory Vines are just starting to fill the PVC Arch.

You mean the birdbath?

I just loved that birdbath when I saw it!! Those are squirrels chasing each other around the base.

In most the photos, it is my old white plastic birdbath, now in the backyard.
 
What did you use for your walkway? Is it sturdy or is it more for show? I need something for some walkways I am planning for the future and could use some ideas. I have used stepping stones and ground covers in the past but yours looks completely covered.

A couple of years ago I put down some artificial grass. It is WONDERFUL!! (Although, it is HOT if you walk on it in the summer in your barefeet!)

It seems to hold up very well, even in our blistering heat of summer.

I got it for free, it was left overs from bigger jobs.

When I saw how great it looked at one of our local Radio Stations, (they had it installed in front of their office building) I got the name of the installer, and gave them a call to see if they had any scraps they would like to get rid of.... The original plan I had was to use it between the flagstone. (But it was a pain in the tush to cut the pieces to fit!!) So... I just made the entire path out of the artificial grass.

Here is a link to the "Man of the Soil" here in Tucson, I think the "American Green" is available at Ace Hardware.

Absolutely stunning!!! Someday maybe I can get an impressive garden like this. Hubs is more about edibility than ascetics tho... LOL
 
I look forward to seeing your front walkway pics every year! Such a lovely entrance- I've said it before, and I'll say it again- just like a fairytale! Enjoy!
