Mary's Garden

Last fall my daughter Phoebe and I constructed the garden box in the upper corner of our yard. With the help of her friend Sarah we filled it up with soil, planted it with bulbs and waited for spring. well, it's spring and the flowers are starting to come up and bloom. The plan for the month of May is to finish the icon of Mary and Jesus (which will go into a yet-to-be-built shrine in the upper corner of the garden). 

I've got the drawing on the panel -- now all I have to do is paint it, build the shrine, install the icon in the shrine and set it up in the garden.
