treatment

* couple feet of gravel border on both sides of the asphalt millings
* five, $7 lamps on each side
* dozens of large border rocks, leftover from a culvert area on our property

a lot of our projects are expensive, time-consuming, or both. this one was a good reminder that sometimes you can make a significant and lasting contribution with just a little bit of elbow grease.
