My Garden Shed

I like it so much and it is very useful.

As long as I can remember, I have wanted a garden shed. Four years ago I decided that it was something that I could do for myself. Now, listen to my rational about spending the money. I probably would have lost the money with the current economy if I hadn't spent it four years ago. That makes perfect sense, don't you think?

Every garden shed needs a mail box! Actually, it is a very handy place to store my garden gloves. I did not go out and buy a mailbox special for the garden shed. Actually, it was a gift at the time I was moving here. But since I do not have home delivered mail it needed some kind of a home! Light bulb moment, I'll put it by the garden shed. I think it looks cute.

If you have been following my posts, you know how much a like spray paint in a can. Notice the purple chair. It was in the yard when I moved here. It is quite old. It is one of those chairs that has the wire stretchers under the seat. I had to reinforce the seat with some brackets for it to be safe. Well, it was not purple when I found it. But, it is now!

One day when I stopped at a yard sale, I found the water pump for about five dollars. It had been painted white. The paint was chipped and it was rusty and it needed some LTC. So, now it has a new home as a red water pump.

I am sure by now, you realize that a lot of my possessions have had a prior life. In the future, I will give you tours through the house and you can see all of the reincarnations! Wishing you a PLAYFUL summer day.
