Firepit area

-
A bit of a flooding problem -
A big blank slate. And a too-big-for-the-area backhoe -
Tree clearing and burning -
the mini-deck, constructed to keep me out of the mud when it rained -
where the firepit eventually will be -
burning slash -
Set up initial retaining wall -

Second wall added outside firepit to further define the *camping circle* -
Campfire coffee and roasted filberts. It does NOT get any better!!!!
Our home sits on property that was left alone for 20+ years. Being smack in juniper country, the land is arid and scrubby. We're slowly but surely putting together a backyard we can enjoy, with a firepit - reminiscent of the camping we love to do but rarely have time for - as one of our key features. Very much a work in progress, and these photos really are just meant to capture the journey.
