In the middle at the right is a courtyard garden that's evolving on the east side of our house.  If you stand facing of the meditation wall, you would be facing east, toward the rising sun, and slightly north.  It's the best place around our house, yard, and probably the neighborhood.  (Actually, I wouldn't know.  I haven't been everyplace in the neighborhood.)  It's cool in the hot summer and protected from the bitter cold in the winter.

At the bottom left is Mary saying "Hurry up and get it over with."  I'd just got the digital camera and was going a little overboard taking pictures of everything.  Aren't you glad I'm not publishing them here, Mary?
