This is the result after about four class of endeavor . The Buddha was about 15 pes tall . I rationalize it just about every twelvemonth in Spring . It was a pretty hard job because part of it demand balance on the fence ( age of yoga serve ! ) I sold the star sign with its garden in 2008 . ala , the new owners were n’t up for the labour and the Boxwood Buddha is no long . ”Thanks , Sherry , for sharing this with us !
