Dry powdered dirt-cement filling cracks, will be swept away from surface when all packed in – saves lots of work mixing water into that mud!  All the rows of bricks are angled down slightly, hopefully to send the rain water right to that Ballerina rose in the center – grow, baby, grow!

Very ELEMENTAL work!  Earth.  Water.  Sun and Air to dry the bricks – loving it!
