This past summer, I had the pleasure to work for the first time for Sculptor/Landscaper Janice Rieves, a sculptor who's work I have known for many years now since moving to Chatham County, but have only recently had the pleasure to get to know, and collaborate with.
The project was the building, sculpting and planting of several beds around the edges of local Amp Builder, Bar Owner, Musician, Entrepreneur, Steve Carr's house.
It was a real pleasure to get to try working with Janice, and I hope it will be the first of many more. However, I don't think it will ever be quite like that job, at least not in the next 12 years. For you see, we were constantly being serranaded by 13 yr old cicada! Now, you thought pubescent human 13-year-old sounded creeky, akward and annoying, try listening to these crawling out of bed for days on end. Quite a drama unfolded, in the space inbetween the canopy above, and the canopy below the oaks, that we shared with these strange visitors...the burgeoning Cicada Men, singing their cicada sonata!
It was also a real pleasure to meet the Carr Family, really nice people, every one of them, even little Max;)
One day, Max- home from school with the flu- decided he'd like join our crew to help in the garden, which his mom reported that he truly 'digs'. And indeed, Max proved to be an adept worker, and didn't even give us the bug! Perhaps some day Max will have a crew of his own. Then he will know, as we do, that he's got 'The Good Stuff'.
