Taming the Ravine
She collected rocks, too--hundreds of them--with which to create terraces to tame the ravine. She wrested them from the sides
of the slough and piled them into a canoe that she pulled behind her. She also gathered driftwood that her son Frank used
to fashion the rustic bridges, arbors, arches, and lean-tos that decorate the streamside haven. Son Bill helped decide where
to place them. Naturally, she cut much of the wood herself, using a 14-inch electric chain saw. “It was so much fun, you don’t
believe!" she declares.
