Making progress

This dry stream bed helps to direct the water from the down spout down into the yard.  It ended at the edge of the path and the water tended to pool on the path and then run down the brick path, taking the mulch with it, even though I had dug a large area for the water to flow into. Not good. One of my jobs for the summer was to make it work better.  I extended it out so it disappears under the hydrangea shrubs.  I took out a varigated dogwood, dug out a new "stream" and added some new plants - some irises and brunerra.  The biggest part of this job will be cleaning up the river rock from the pile in the back yard.
