The Non-Potting Shed



While I spent the afternoon mangling my arthritic hands (slamming empty wine bottles down into the ground), Chuck spent his afternoon working on the tin roof of my new "Not Potting Shed." It's still very much a work in progress, but it's starting to take shape, and the windows and door have been located (in the backroom of the local antique store).
If you blow up the middle picture and see the slight scowl (and WTF look) on Chuck's face, it's because that's the moment when I asked, "You remembered my terra cotta birds need to sit on the ridge of the roof, right?"......how easily he forgets that fashion comes before function!

  6. That's very nice. I have a boring beige one from the big box store--I have no garage and just needed a place to put all my gardening things!

  7. Oh yes he was not a happy camper. Fashion before function is a new one for me. Maybe you could get him to build a cupola to set the birds on top of. Well, maybe not.
