Since moving to small house
in town I have been trying to make
the best of it...the lack of privacy
has been different and the idea of
a long summer spent in a sad side yard
made ME sad, so...
I began with this
And after lots of hard work on many sunny
glorious days with sweat pouring down my face,
I have something I have always wanted-
A Cottage Garden
The ladder above was my Dad's and I treasure
it knowing that his feet climbed up and down
it many times through the years.
The potting bench was a free item that
a thrift store owner begged me to take when I
bought a few other things.
I finished it with a faux galvanized metal top
and used a upside down shelf for the top.
Oh, my heart! Its absolutely wonderful! Wish I was there, having a coffee with you!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Your ladder brings tears to my eyes! May you find much joy and peace in this garden recluse! Blessings always.
