Took the weekend off to take my creativity in a different direction.  I’m not so much a construction kind of person, but I have learned I can do what people tell me to do.  I worked hard in my backyard this weekend to create a lovely space for eating, socializing, enjoying the outdoors and of course— YOGA!

Tarp, dirt, gloves, shovel — and a lot of human power, motivation, and a strong back doesn’t hurt either.

Zen garden? I said we could leave it just like this! It didn’t go over very well.

Love the tones, it’s going to be an awesome space.

It’ll settle some, and we’ll probably fill in the gaps a bit. But it already has been danced on and yoga’d on.

All set for some relaxing… just needs a fire pit.

I’ve been enjoying seeing our home change. Yes, there are some quirks and blemishes, but their ours to enjoy.
