Resting on the (gravel) mountain side

I'll spare you day-by-day pics, but day two of Operation: Saved By Zero(scaping) has gone well. There's still a huge pile of pea gravel in my driveway, but years' worth of leaf drifts have been raked out of the corners, and you can actually see inside the garden plot now. Eventually I may try planting something in it again.

Pea gravel looks a million times nicer than bare dirt, but now I'm feeling the strange urge to buy a chiminea and a statue of the Virgin of Guadalupe...
