My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

Yes you are right I hate muddy shoes, gee you want to see my work boots they are so heavy with mud and now that it has dried I will have to get a screwdriver and clean it out of all the grooves under the sole

My kids would treat it as a great bike path  but it would be good for pushing full barrows along 
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.
A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.

I use it a lot, actually Gail its for me to push the mower out to the front and the barrow full of grass clipping back, and I used it late yesterday and it felt good, much better than walking around the curved driveway that takes a little longer and its rough pushing the mower over the loose blue metal.
I like it..Humm also notice Tony uses it all the time now to walk on especially walking to the letterbox from the shed, well that's what it for. Bike path sounds good too Gail

except when there are plants along the edges and the kids either run over them or fall of into them like they do here

No way there are two many Canna's there now.
My short cream one is nearly opened do you have one of them its name is Ambassador
And speaking of Canna's I pulled up and binned so many this afternoon as I could see the dreaded rusty spots coming on them, now the jolly bin is full and our bin day is Christmas Day and I have no idea when or if it will be emptied this week.. Then next Thursday is another public holiday, goodness I may have to take them out and bury them or something..
