Following the path, you'll arrive at this steep slope which drops down from the walkway around the pond. The slope needed steps to provide easy access here from the pond to the arboretum we're developing.


One weekend in October, 2007 when Rick had plans to be away at a photography seminar, I tackled yet another project! I had seen a terrific bargain for an arbor the week before and thought it would be perfect at the top of the steps. As soon as Rick was out the door I was off and running to buy the arbor and pick up the materials to build the steps while he was gone!
