Yeah I think that walkway idea could work well with the flagstone you already have. We did something similar at our place last spring and it really opened up the side yard. Unt1Sp2EMG The key is to set the stones at least two inches deep with a good gravel base underneath so they don't shift after the rain. You will want to overlap the edges just a bit to keep the line looking natural instead of too straight.

I would recommend renting a plate compactor from the local tool library if you are doing more than ten feet. It saves your back and gives a much flatter result than tamping by hand. We made the mistake of skipping that step on the first section and had to redo it a few months later.

Also think about drainage before you lay anything permanent. You might route a shallow channel along one side with some decorative pebbles. That is what our neighbor did and it handles the runoff from their downspout beautifully.

I finally tried that sourdough starter recipe you mentioned a while back and it turned out way better than I expected. The first few feedings felt a bit fussy but once it got going it was surprisingly low maintenance. Unt1Sp2EMG I keep it in the back of the fridge now and just pull it out the night before I want to bake.

The trick that made the biggest difference was using filtered water instead of tap. Our local water has enough chlorine to slow the fermentation down noticeably. Also I switched from all-purpose flour to a blend of half whole wheat and half bread flour and the rise got much more consistent.

I made two loaves last weekend and gave one to the family next door. They asked for the recipe so I might be starting a little neighborhood baking thing without meaning to. Let me know if you want me to save you a starter portion.
