I've taken the wall apart and rebuilt the top half three times, and I'm still not happy with it. The step is set and I've added fill behind the wall, but I'm not sure it's right. The cats are no help in deciding.

Time to call it a day! I'm pretty pleased so far with the wall, with the exception of the right side. I only had so many rocks to work with, and not all really fit. This is my first stone wall, though, and I'm 70% happy with it.
