Sheri's garden.....











This weekend we embarked on an ambitious project. For four years Sheri and I have owned a piece of property overlooking Manson in a development called Winesap Ridge, Sheri loved it there. She continued to dream of us building our family home on the property, and us living out our days there. She had the plans for the house in her basket by her favorite chair, and she would pull them out and ask me questions. I would do my best to explain the drawings. Then I'd draw mocked up pictures to help her "see" what it all would look like and she'd have me explain them to her....I think she just liked to make me talk with my hands and use big gestures to help illustrate things.

One of the projects we had hoped to take on this year was a garden at the entry of our property, by the old willow tree she so dearly loved, the one I've written about many times here. I put the idea out there to see where it might go after Sheri passed....she gave it wings! Thanks to all who gave plants, time, and love to this garden....it is far beyond anything we had ever dreamed of! I know she is smiling down on it....when was she not smiling? Feel free to go up and enjoy it....

Looking up,

Brett, Bryce, and Alyssa
