Mother's Day 2020

Since we had so much fun building the gates for my birthday, when Mother's Day was coming around, Eric said how bad he felt that once again there could be no celebration. I immediately suggested that we build yet another gate! The Bacchus Garden also known as The Secret Garden is beginning to be a bit more of a secret, at least once the leaves come out... and it really needs "some closure". While I came up with a basic design and debated a window of sorts, Eric suggested we keep with a wine theme as Bacchus is the God of Wine and do a sort of carving in the gate. We opted for a grape vine which could be cut on the band saw and fine tuned with sanders and a dremel tool.  The sunsets behind this garden and it is just beautiful with the last rays of the day coming through the open spaces in the carving.
