Brick Sidewalks and other Blessings

Brick Sidewalk

Our house is on the corner which gives us sidewalk across the front and down the long side, about 225 feet of it. This weekend we set about trying to uncover the entire thing. The edges were under 3 inches of eroded soil and much of the gaps between the bricks were filled with grass. My husband and son took turns with the weed eater for 8 1/2 hrs while I swept up 6 garbage bags of refuse behind them.

The effort was well worth it. The photo was taken standing outside our gate which is in the center of the sidewalk. Now, if we can only find a product that will keep those pesky weeks from filling in the gaps as soon as it rains.
