Members' Tour Goes to Wisconsin! |
|
|
|
I met several other members coming and going from the back yard of Cheryl Sykora and Bill Welbes, where we watched Bill renovating an old playground merry-go-round -- and we saw Cheryl's bonsai too! |

The bonsai display area is down the slope from the house, and has a free-standing cold storage building. |

Comfortable seating for contemplation with a mint julep, perhaps? |

The house was a school in the first half of the 20th century. The merry-go-round dates from 1910 also. |

Bill prepared to do a little welding and a lot of sanding before the new paint would go on - red, yellow, blue and green on the seats that would hang from this frame. |
