I started unearthing the stone work I did twenty years ago. And I mean that literally. For almost twenty years no one has been clearing leaves and other debris from the alley side of the little house. So all that debris has turned into soil that's been collecting on the old stone walkway. I began a small archeological dig and took pictures as I worked. I also began adding stones to the path to the main house, enlarging the area covered by brick. I have no idea why doing stone work is so enjoyable for me. When I began doing the this work back here twenty years ago I found it both satisfying and somewhat meditative. It's hard work but I love the final result. That's a good thing since I have a huge pile of bricks and all the work I did all those years ago has been shifted as tree roots have grown under the pavers, lifting them and making tripping hazards here and there. Making my patio area larger and better is going to be my summer project. Here are the photos of my efforts so far.
