My Garden Shed

IMG_4555

One of my favorite times of day

is right at dusk.

There is still enough light to

work in the garden,

but it is dark enough that I can turn on the little white lights

in my garden shed.

It is a humble place, but

as you know by now,

that is my

favorite kind.

I have posted reminders

to keep things simple while

I think,

plan,

work, pray.

It is also where I

dance,

sing,

and arrange things .

I realized recently I have a collection of

treasures in green.

I found many of these things in a crate

that was my mother’s.

We're finally planting the vegetable garden next weekend... the Mesquite trees are budding out.. a sure-fire indication that all chance of freeze has finally passed! Now if I could just get myself a groovy garden shed like my friend Laura... hummmmmm... "oh Ricky... I've got a little project for ya honey..."... ;) hugs.

Oh Laura, I love your shed and how you've used your mom's beautiful things in there. Why not? You spend so much time in there and it brings you such joy, you should surround yourself with beautiful memories.

Linda said...

This is so inspiring! It inspires me for the future, to make something wonderful out of our garden shed, the little house that was once my daughter's playhouse, but that she has since outgrown. Thanks for the beautiful ideas. I had forgotten to check your blog, until you stopped by mine tonight, and now I'm totally addicted and will be reading more regularly. Forgive my absence. It's difficult to keep up with everything.
Many blessings to you and yours,
Linda
