A trip to the store came next, and shortly thereafter water was trickling out a hose, down some black plastic steps and into a big, black, plastic basin used to create instant ponds or water gardens. Well, she couldn't leave an ugly black basin exposed for all to see. Not when her shop is filled with all sorts of antiques and artwork. The space needed a stone wall, she decided. Here is where most people would definitely go to the phone.
Stone walls involve heavy lifting, perspiration, chipped nails.
Not Mrs. Samuelson. Another trip to the store yielded bags of cement. A trip to the granite cliff behind Accoutrements produced rocks large and small. There are also pebbles she picked up during vacation at the Jersey shore last summer. She found herself becoming more and more choosy about her rocks.
