Live with the trashy side-yard for a while (too long),
Add one laundry line and sand toys,
Subtract the fence one day with a hammer & handsaw and attitude while the kids sleep,
Add a baby,
(And sleep yourself,)
Throw in a pinch of landscape fabric (for what WILL BE brick paths) and a few workers,
Locate one wee brawny man who loves to hang out in the local graveyard collecting rocks (none inscribed--he leaves those where they are)
Ensure he is MAD-CRAZY FOR ROCKS, LIFTING ROCKS, ARRANGING ROCKS, BREAKING SUBARU AXLES WITH LOADS OF ROCKS, BUT RATHER CLEVER WITH ROCKS,
Plant a dozen or so fruit trees,
Begin what will be raised beds,
Give Mad-man rockerfella a chance to work. . .
And you get:
A WORK IN PROGRESS: the Petit Pottager, or what will be forever known to us as the Pool Garden. Watch for future developments.

Well it's lookin' great!
I have a picture of my oldest son (as a baby) and me asleep in the same position as you and yours!
You've done a lot of work in the Pool Garden- looks good!
That looks great! What a cool way to use a space you disliked before. Now you will love it.

Wow. This is really exciting. One hundred years from now, that stone wall will still be there and still beautiful. Can't wait to see it in person!
Blessed Easter to you all.
