I sometimes go outside and contemplate projects for the spring and summer. One major project will be a vegetable garden. The spot chosen is on a slight downward slant and gets sun all day. They tell me to start out small, just a few vegetables. That sounds like good advice since having a garden would be something new for me.
One other major project will be a stupa/pagoda in honor of the Buddha and his Dharma. Right now, the area is a wildflower garden, but not really a garden. It's just where I don't mow in the summer, and wildflowers thrive there. If I tend the wildflower area around the pagoda, it should look nice. I have some roof tiles from ancient temple ruins in Korea, and those will go inside the pagoda. Maybe under the pagoda I'll create a hollow to put in a time capsule of sorts.
Right now, though, it's cold and snow-covered, so I just stand and think while bundled up tight from the wind.
