It's amazing what you can DIY if you're willing to put in the time and muscle! Oasis made me think of my wife's cousin''s backyard outside of Sacramento. He put in a few small shade trees, lots of overhead trellises with vines and stuff on them, and burbling water channels here and there. On hot summer days I swear it's 10 degrees cooler back there.
Yeah!
I have lamented in comments before that it seems like society treats technology and "success" as things that mean you don't have to put in any effort to do things or learn things.
Admittedly, I'm an engineer and enjoy learning about the world and creating things starting with the basic building blocks, so I probably enjoy the learning and doing more than most. But I also recognize how engaging with the world around us is good for us, and my experiences keep reinforcing that.
