Just over three weeks ago I began working full-time for the first time in ____ years.
I would be so dating myself if I told you how long it has been since I worked full-time.
OK!, I know you are dying to know how long it has been, well maybe you really don't care so I will tell you anyway. It has been 33 years.
Yes, I have had other jobs in that time period but not a full-time 9 to 5 type job.
So what does this have to do with anything you may ask. It simply means that my brain is mush after I finish my day at work.
That is why I was so grateful to my daughter for suggesting that I post this post on the plants we have planted between the rocks in our patio.
Her comment was that this is the type of thing that she is interested in and would like to read about. Maybe you will be interested as well.

As you can see, in our backyard just off of our deck, we have made a patio out of stone. Neither my husband or I wanted to put cement between the stone so we chose a ground cover that could be walked on to grow between the rocks.
This particular ground cover has lovely little light blue flowers that bloom every spring and early summer.

No matter what mood I am In the sight of these small flower always lifts my heart a little higher.
When the blooms are gone and all is left is the green foliage it still looks charming.

It has taken a couple of years to have the ground cover fill the cracks between the stones as much as they have because some of the stones where placed to close together to allow room to plant the starts of this ground cover. With that handy cap I fill like it has filled in quite quickly. By the end of this summer I believe that the cracks between the stones will be filled in about 95%.
We do have to weed this patio, so if you don't like to do any kind of weeding, this may not be the answer for you. I find the small amount of weeding I have to do to keep it looking nice worth it !
