Landscaping is in progress!

We have not had been able to use our front door or our laundry room door because we have not had any steps to them. The landscaping has now started, and a key part of that is the "armour wall", which is a wall made up of big chunky stones, as you can see here. We are fortunate as we had lots of these on site.

In fact, several friends and come out (some making several trips) to pick up stones for their landscaping. One couple hired a guy with a dual-axle truck to take two loads of stones (the size of these ones) to their property.
Here is the finished armour wall, looking down on it from the porch in front of the front door. We had just had a good rain, so I didn't feel like getting my feet all muddy to take a good photo of the wall. I will do that in a few days.

Freda is going to have a rose bed between the two steps. The pathway is going to be a bit more curvy than you can see here. We also hope to have river rock on top of the dirt, to help keep the pestilential diseases off the roses.
