Photos from the "Terrace Christening Party":
The fire swirl.
The Fairy Tree with candles inside old glass canning jars hanging from it. Building the fire.
Joey and I going to light the swirl for the first time.
Two matches.
There we go.
Around the swirl.
The light reflects.

The day started by moving the Day Lilies that were scooped up in June and deposited near the woods to their new home.
On the berm up to the terrace edge.
Others were used to create a new bed along the west border of the yard. This will meet up with the Day Lilies that are in the Reeds and ones that are up toward the road. That will be a Spring task.
As I was moving the Day Lilies I was thinking about the fire pit that we were planning to build in this area near the woods. I had started to dig, thinking about all the rocks from the ill-fated wall. Wait a minute! "Joey!" I have an idea!
And the Fire Swirl was born.
As you can see there is still a lot of sod work to do on the terrace berms. But, close enough, it's time for a party! The invitations have been sent...
Joey did much of the designing and choosing of appropiate rocks.
It is deeper than it looks.
After a long day working in the yard....
You go inside... The screen door closes behind you...
Just make sure you...
Take the garden rake out of your back pocket.
Well I am not a stone mason. So I decided to not build a wall on this edge but instead let the edge just gently curve around like the other edges.
All the rocks that were going to be the wall are now available for something else.
Looking down on the rock from the terrace.
Much better than a wall. It feels so pleasant.
Find Gwen...
