While visiting my friend Scott house I was admiring his rock retaining wall and noticed his wall had a little alcove - a small shelf indented into the wall with an arch over it I think a small statue stood inside. I liked it. I wanted one in my rock wall.
I was particularly keen on building an arch and located 5 rocks with nice angles for an arch. After hours of trial and error my arch stood. For some reason I didn't continue right away. Perhaps it was winter. The arch stood for some time before I returned and while making adjustments, the arch fell. I repeated this process quite a number of times until an arch kept standing and I had filled in the wall around it.
Gazing at the arch I started to imagine what I would put in my alcove, and I noticed that the inner lines of the rocks made a big "M" and since my love's name is Monica
