Big pile of gravel

Alright, the gravel showed up, but upon closer inspection of the pond which is to become our walkway, we've decided we're going to have to let it dry out some before doing any serious work. Which sucks because today is the only chance we have all weekend to get something done without small children trying to "help" us.

Ugh.

On the bright side, this gives me a chance to do something fun for my birthday. However, I'm at a complete loss as to what that might be. Maybe a bike ride?...
