Baby needs a new pair of shoes

An installation was recently installed at Beatrix Ferrand's famed Dumbarton Oaks.  Wire mesh was festooned with crystals and suspended above a reflecting pool.  A little Vegas for me.  However, before the bloom was off the rose, I was enticed by the unassuming herb garden next door with it's wisteria arbor and fabulous hedge of pear.  Jackpot.
