New Outlook

I've seen a few outdoor fireplaces that have made me really want to create a patio and outdoor area in my backyard. I have plenty of space for it, and even have started putting in some little ponds to shape the landscaping around. It's going slow since I'm gone so much during the summer, but maybe I should focus more on spring/fall and even mild mid-winter days type of landscaping and furnishing. Ponds aren't practical in the spring/fall and winter, but a fireplace certainly is. It is a new way of looking at backyard sculpting, patios, and landscapes, but it makes a lot of sense when you have other outdoor things every weekend during the summer.
