Side Porch

I've had a week since my Mom's

funeral and its been a learning experience.

I keep thinking that she's just a phone call

away...and then realizing 

never again here on earth can I see or

hear my Mom...

So I try to stay busy doing the things

that give me joy.

I had gathered up a few things over 

the previous weeks for my side

porch and one day that was less

cold and rainy (but not much!)

I put it together.

 All thrifted and some of it free!

It's a very narrow porch so the bench

works better than the chairs I had there before.

I used an aging technique on the ladder

as it was just fresh lumber.

I just love when something that is free ends

up looking like it was purchased for 

the exact space.
