The old mansion’s paving stones are starting to pop up all over the place!

Since paving stones were buried here and there, I arranged them into a pseudo rock garden and stepping stones. I excavated them with an excavator and transported them with a tractor. The power of machinery is amazing!

Since the bush clover flowers were in full bloom, I decided to place the following stones beforehand, thinking of having a moon-viewing on the night of the harvest moon.

1. A stone water basin weighing probably over 500 kg.
2. A sitting stone in the shape of a steamed bun.
3. Paving stones that turn bluish-green when wet (Kotsuyayama stone or Towada stone).
4. Pseudo red gemstone.

Gotta keep the surroundings clean too.

But I want to turn them into stepping stones!

　I’m planning to neatly arrange them as stepping stones, but since they’re heavy objects, I’m taking my time considering it. Maybe I’ll do it next spring when the weather gets better?

So many stones have surfaced. They seem like the foundations of old buildings or garden stones. It looks like more will come out too.

Arranging them neatly is quite a challenge.
