Creating harmony, simplicity and peace in the landscape......

"Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help.

Gardening is an instrument of grace. "



May Sarton

Thea Alvin, 'arching' in the landscape


"Arching is peaceful. 
You can feel your body work, hear your breath, contemplate what's next and build, build, build. 
Its a beautiful thing to watch and feel and learn."
~ Thea Alvin, sculptor, of Vermont, USA
