I envisioned a soft carpet of moss beneath my feet as I walked through the garden…                                                                           

and then the weeds came.

So now not only do the beds require weeding, so do the paths! YIKES!

I have been resisting the pea gravel alternative. When I am alone in the garden the crunch of the gravel is delightful but when accompanied, it is so distracting it is difficult to have a conversation.
