I'd be happy to show you photos from my pre-interview survey of the place some time. If there is a will, there is a way, I guess... But, I also want to give a big shout-out to Steven and Robin (our on-site landscape architects) who both are an instrumental part of our west-side gang, as well as Jose and the fabulous crews who helped us build it all, and to Scott and the rest of the people on the east-side. This has been a collaborative effort, for sure. :) I have to say I love your photo of the gang hanging Mother Earth on the wall. I wasn't there that day, and wondered how much muscle it took to do it. She's heavy, that one...Anna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353084595743927603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-57827521767584393672015-05-23T14:50:40.292-07:002015-05-23T14:50:40.292-07:00Thanks!

Not to denigrate our earlier efforts - we really have been working our butts off - but that made a HUGE difference.
