MAKING MUD PIES WITH THE MUSES: DAY ONE

Many times over the years I have stumbled across magazine articles about two amazing landscapers on Bainbridge Island, in Washington. George Little and David Lewis accent their landscaping

with unique organic-looking pieces they have fashioned out of concrete. I was over the moon when I discovered they had finally published a book about their work - A Garden Gallery: The Plants, Art, and Hardscape of Little and Lewis, by George Little and David Lewis.

One day I took that book to coffee with me, to share it with the Muses. That's when Cheryl said "We can do that. Rick and I have worked with concrete before. We can teach you!" A year later, after struggling to find a two-day block of time when we could all get together, then getting rained out not once, but twice, we finally did it!
