A "New" Thinking Spot...

An "Up-Cycled" Thinking Spot


Today I supervised while Dave and Cooper took care of one of the very first projects I ever put on my ...... "someday list".....

When I first moved here I was amazed to find a few flowers had survived being "rented" and with a little love and care they soon began to grow into the huge bushes we have today.. 


Early on I discovered a sweet little spot between some trees on on end of the house.. I am pretty sure that the dogs.. children and other critters used it for a shortcut... but I used it as a secret place to sit alone and think or pray or cry.. sometimes all three.. 


 I have had in mind a simple plank bench between two trees.. a wind chime maybe and a shelf for a candle or tiki torch...  unless you have spent some time here you might never find this little spot in my yard.. Where most of us that live here have spent a little time thinking... 
 Dave thinks about a cold beer.. a day off and trying to keep me happy...
I think about hats... and socks and dolls and the three sister guinea who run around here yelling at us...


I sing for my brothers and sisters and friends and enemies... Kumbaya...


I am sure this is a special spot.. it has granted me peace many times when I has some tall thinking to do.. Dorie has always called it the secret path.. Cooper even up-cycled an old hanging chair into a soft cushion.. and appeared to be about to think himself.. even though most of his "thinking spots" are high in a tree.. So Listen close as you stroll through my yard.. you might catch me singing and thinking.. in my newly up-cycled thinking spot... A Million thanks to the guys for getting a check mark on my "someday" list..and to every visitor.. Thanks for stopping by.. I welcome both Comments and followers.. and I hope you have a great day..
