Future back yard courtyard

Here is a picture of the area behind the house as it is now.

It is still a little too soon to begin a back yard landscape design, but we know it will include a brick courtyard and some sort of "secret garden" behind a gate. One of our new neighbors offered us these old clay bricks if we would pay a small amount for the person storing them to deliver them to us. How can you beat that.

It took Julie and I a quite a few trips to get these from curbside to our back yard using a hand truck.

Good exercise.
