Wamboldtopia - where garden and art become one

| Looking down from the top of the property. That is Ricki Pierce in the center. |

| Everyone wanted to know what the red rose was cascading from a rock wall. (Damaris Pierce told us that it was a gift from a friend and she did not know the identity of it). It looks like "Scarlet Meidiland" which I grow in our garden but I'm not positive about that. |

| That is one fancy doghouse! |

| Gothic touches abound! |

Much of Wamboldtopia revolves around our love story. The infamous red rose was actually a wedding gift, we had asked our guests to bring plants for our garden. :-)
And the metal piece that is sitting on the old concrete bird bath pedestal was made by no other than metal artist Christopher Mello! The design is my own, a celtic knot with Ivy in its three stages that was originally planned as a tattoo, but that design changed. Ricki snagged a printout of the design and had Christopher cut it in metal as a surprise gift, to fit exactly into the center of the brick circle, which we also call the wedding circle since, you guessed it, we got married on it. The circle itself was Ricki's engagement gift to me in lieu of a ring (he knows I don't dig rings)... little did I know I'd be carrying bricks up for days in buckets - my arms grew a couple of inches that season. Not a single regret. :-)
