We wanted to make a special stone as a tribute to Sam for the garden path, and Mr. Lee was gracious enough to brave the difficult media of rough concrete and a very messy bottle of paint to produce a lovely sketch of Sam on this stone.  It bears an imprint of nasturtium leaves and a flower, and will eventually say, &#8220;Well, I&#8217;m back!&#8221;  This will surely be the crown jewel of the Elanor garden and I&#8217;m thrilled that Mr. Lee was willing to do this&#8211;particularly after a long evening of presentations, questions, and booksignings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turimel writes: I took these very cool pics of Alan Lee in Beaverton, OR.
