I don't know why I hadn't thought about sharing this sooner with everyone here, but the recent discussions of Japanese Tea Ceremony sparked it. One of the most enjoyable and amusing things I had ever read online is Keran Egan's "Building My Zen Garden"
I have embarked on building a small pond and garden in my own front yard, and after searching and searching I finally found it again, I had to reread it now that I am following in his footsteps. I also wanted to share it with you all. My endeavor will not be as elaborate, but it will feature a pond, a bench, landscaping including some of my bonsai.. all being built from scratch by me (actually building the bench, and pond, not buying them)
I have since bought the actual book, and highly recommend it! Enjoy!
