Isn't it amazing that at time when things are difficult the Lord puts earthly Angels in our paths...I believe that last year was one of those times...thoughtout the year/over 50 threads later in the 'Best/Worse and What did I learn today' thread I've learnt to appreciate technology..it's brought many from all ends of the world together in friendship..DG has a special place in my daily routine...

I often ponder at the distance between us all and thought why not, as I'm always gabbing about my garden and garden art initiatives to work on a garden where I'll be able to sit with all my DG friends around me...

No simple task, a plan in mind but not one to be done overnight..

May I share my plan??? (you know me, even if you say 'no' I'll do so anyway..lol)

In an area in the back 40 of my yard stands a metal shed 12'x16' the type that really isn't very pretty but necessary...kind of left desolate in comparison to the rest of the yard..why not make it 'country' ??? my goal is doing so,using recycled materials and at a minimal cost except for the manpower and that with all my energy would be the 'easy part'...

Suzanne and Lenny had some barnboard that they were no longer using so dropped it off to me, was sure 3 years ago it would come in handy at some point...ahhh fencing for my project...

On Mother's Day Greg and Jeff (my 2 sons) always give me a day of work to do all the little things normally I'd not be able to do..so with my garden in mind and Alex (neighbor) explaining how to put the boards together I was well on my way...a rail fence on each side...of course, the neighbor on my right hand side keeps putting his debris along the property line, so with an old railing and cement they were able to hide this eye sore and it will yet be another place for me to grow flowers..lol

Now thinking I was well underway, it came as a surprise to find that the hard work was to dig up the sod to make a garden...
