Gleaning Facebook: "The Living Room"

We were a small group but we sure had a good time in "the living room" for A Time to Tell tonight. First Mary Elena Rivera Kirk cracked us up with the history of her skiing career. But the highlight for me (as you will see) was something a little different: Show & Tell from John the Plantman (and sidekick Dekie Hicks). John Paul Schulz demonstrated how to take a fairly bedraggled inexpensive potted juniper, a clay tray, some dirt and rocks, a hacksaw, some snips, and a few clumps of pilfered moss right out of the woods to create a living sculpture. It was a story of care, keen observation, bravery, and joyful abandon. The results were fascinating. Then my name was drawn to take the fascination home. We treasure our new John Schulz original, but you'll have to wait for a picture.
