Well, it’s officially Fall now, and we thought it would be fun to get festive with some Fall-themed decorations.

We’ve decided that this will be our “Festive Decoration Porch” so stay tuned as the seasons change for more creative beauty!

Whenever time, funding, and creativity permit, we like to make improvements to the beauty and functionality of the ranch. Here’s the latest batch of improvements we’ve made!

Kirk loves Flagstone. A Lot. It’s one of his favorite type of stone to work with, because it’s easy to put down, doesn’t require much maintenance, and looks fantastic. When he initially designed the play yard, he wanted to have a gravel area as a transition from the grass on the outside to the inside. The gravel cuts down on mud when it’s raining, and some dogs prefer it at potty time. It’s a high traffic area, so just grass up to the door probably wouldn’t last long anyway. Some dogs however, don’t care for it, preferring to go all the way around the gravel area to get to the grass.

So here’s what he came up with, a Flagstone walkway!

But what do the dogs think? You could ask them, but they’re sleeping.
