The temperatures are finally above freezing for a few days and the snow and ice is melting. The pond is dirtier than ever for some reason so I restarted the pump.
I also picked up a couple of books from the library since its still a little too chilly to hang out outside.
The Art of Japanese Gardens: Designing & Making Your Own Peaceful Space
by Herb Gustavson
– A quick read and is a good beginners book dealing with elements of the Japanese garden in minimal detail.
Japanese Garden Design
– History and much detail about historical gardens and their design. Many photographs and hand drawings.
