The plan was to create a sculpture garden on our 2+ acre mountain retreat. It was exalting to think such a far reaching fantasy would be realized. Visions didn't even make it to paper though. Unexpectedly blessed with child, we forfeited the mountain home and property for the opportunity to raise our son in a more social environment. It was hard leaving the streams, woods and creatures behind. What an enticing canvas this was to be. However, there was one nagging thought all along. Even if I did create here, who would enjoy this space?
Fast forward to 2011. The Sculpture Garden is afoot. Somehow, it found it's way into my son's schoolyard. How pleasing it was to look around and recognize my hand in their flower and vegetable garden, bottlecap art, bee and beehive sculpture. There are plans for more on the way too. And all are being well utilized by an appreciative group of preschoolers. 
It was meant to bee.
