See my previous post for the reasons I'm changing those "once a month" items. I've wanted to replace the wooden boards that surround the backyard swing set for a couple of years. The swing set is a heavy duty frame my father made of pipe and cemented into the ground almost 60 years ago. Before my recent makeover, the area under the swingset served as a bed for potted plants. Two summers ago my youngest nephew helped me clear out the old mulch and replace it with gravel. A year ago my youngest brother helped me move the second front porch swing to the backyard. This week my youngest niece helped me replace the border boards with 34 edging stones I bought at Walmart. The new grey stones blend well with the gravel and the steel frame and highlight the Knock Out roses I planted in the triangular bed on one end. Note: if I can grow roses, anyone can grow roses! Go for Knock Outs!

CEA's update #18
Item #41. Make yogurt at least once a month. Replace the wood border around the swing set and rose bed with concrete "stones."
