Over the past month and a half, I've been spending my spare time making a garden. It seemed like an easy project at first but was complicated by things I kept digging up.
After getting the sod dug and the rocks out, I started working on a simple fence. I made a gate from some pickets and put in the posts. Actually, before putting them in position, I used the 4x4 posts as levers to move the piece of granite we had unearthed. 
Above is a picture of the garden with a couple of the raised beds complete. And, you can see the granite in its position as a bench.
Finally, we finished the "construction" part of this project. The garden has four raised beds and one long bed. I mulched a path between the beds and around the fence.
I got the kids out yesterday to plant some seeds. But, I am on my way to Tokyo today. Maybe when I get back, there will be some seedlings...

wow, how's your back? and why the fence? do you have critters? It is beautiful!
My back is finally recovering. It was a lot of work digging up the sod. The fence is to keep the rabbits out. We have rabbits in the backyard that are fearless - think Monty Python's Holy Grail.
