The first week or so, work on the transformation of my back yard from ancient-above-ground-pool-to-sanctuary progressed steadily.
Cleaning out the sand and gravel was a slow, messy job.

Daisy-like flowers appeared. This is good. I love daisies.
Then ornamental rocks found their way into place.
Focus for meditation? I like to think so.
Then the beginning of the patio extension started taking shape.
The pool was here when we moved in as newly-weds. My children, Y & X, have never known anything else.
I can’t wait. I can smell next summer’s fresh herbs already.
