Dear Donna,
    My Ravine of the elves is a dry creek bed that bisects our property.
When i desided to put the new {Grand Bed} on that other side,i soon
discovered my need for a bridge capable of supporting the garden cart.  For
our 22 nd Wedding A, my lord gave me one.  Now when i pass over this bridge,
either alone or leading a tour, i can look down and see this sort of
'secret' area below.  I am attempting to make papier Mache' elves [about 18
in high, and a scene for them down in this ditch.  There will be a miner
elf, a farmer elf and a shoemaker elf.  I have had them made, except for the
hands and tools, and painting,  for two years.  I am determined that this is
the year they will be put in place.  As for the drying van,  we have an old
junker van parked out in our back field [behind a privacy fence and
surrounded on three sides by trees] that i use as a dehydrator, thus the
drying van. In case you never worked in 'mash' type papier mache',gettig it
fully dry is a real kick in the fastarus.
   Re daylilies; I agree, they should be left in the ground year after year.
I have many open now and my first scheduled tour is this week Friday [the
18th].
   Shalom,  ll
