The Notorious Potting Shed
The Notorious Potting Shed
This is our notorious potting shed. When we had a carpenter build our shed in 1994, it was just to be one more spot to store an extra vehicle. The total cost of it including labor was $2,000. 12 x 24 seemed reasonable for the pickup that Dennis had. Years come and go and our needs have changed. The current pickup garage is complete with garage door and opener and connected to the garage porch with just one step down. Dennis can be out and about and mobile in a heart beat. Opening barn doors is just way too confining for someone that needs to keep his finger on the pulse of the community.
The Cavern Within
As I began to enjoy gardening the gardening tools began to collect and what’s a garden without embellishments? When we have traveled I have picked up a piece of garden art here and there. Once the fall season is here it all needs to be stored as nothing is sadder than to see my collections torn asunder by strong winter winds and then buried under snow. As others decorate their homes I tend to favor the gardens as no weekly dusting is required. Everything has a place and as I store them each season it evokes memories of where the items were obtained from. Priceless. New shingles were put on the potting shed last week and after this rainy season passes the barn doors are on the schedule to get scrapped, primed and painted for a fresh look. Hmm . . . the bottom of our job jar never seems to see the light of day. It does keep Dennis and me on our toes.
