Rock on

My parents and brother came to visit for 9 days and so naturally we put them to work. We built a circular rock wall that has turned into the focal point of our side yard and is a wonderful place to sit in the sun (on those occasions it actually shines). We also had some friends visiting from Australia and so we put them to work too. We hauled each piece of "urbanite" from offsite and mixed cob on tarps to use as a mortar between the rocks; a bit of an experiment really. What a totally satisfying project it was. I've planted wildflowers, new zealand spinach, and herbs into the garden soil; now all we need is a bit of sunshine!
