This long-dead member of the Sperling family had taken the river stones found on the farm along with cement, paper-mache, chicken wire and wood, and fashioned canals, waterwheels, statues, grottoes, animals, buildings, fairies, colonnades, furniture, lighting, etc. He used these to create fairyland settings at the front entrance to the driveway, to encircle the house, and to generally make the farm a wonderland. I took these pictures in 1999, and on a recent visit these relics had deteriorated further.
