Same day delivery

Gotta love that!


And the first few buckets poured:

And a whole lot more to haul - this is what 3 cubic yards looks like:

 The pea gravel is dumped in the driveway because of these steps. Yep, no direct entry to the patio area.




While I was waiting for the delivery I came across this pea gravel patio inspiration. I like the use of other rocks making a pattern and sectioning off groups of pea gravel.




So, I have a pile of pea gravel, a sweet, new idea and Thanksgiving dinner to drive to in Canada this weekend.
