MJ keeps threatening to post pics of the piles of stone and dirt that have sat, unused and forlorn, in the backyard for weeks. I guess the idea is to shame me into dealing with them. I have now stolen her thunder.
In all seriousness, I’ll probably take a day in the next week or so to spread dirt and get the patio started. I have a plan for the backyard (finally), and I’ll post elements of it here and on my Northern Virginia Landscape Designer blog. It’s going to be really cool, and not super-expensive.
Further updates as events warrant (from one of my fav Calvin & Hobbes strips).

Does the plan include an earth oven, and lots of physical labor from you and Thadd while MJ and I sit under large umbrellas with some sangria and supervise? I am asking because that was kind of what I had in mind as a plan for your backyard (which I have no say in, but I was hoping to bribe MJ into this version of the plan with the sangria).

Shoot, the hard part is done! There’s nothing left that Thadd and I couldn’t do while ALSO drinking sangria.
