dumpster


most semi-rural homes have a place in the yard where things get dumped. leaves, wood, branches, cracked flower pots etc. ours was already established behind the shed when we moved in 10 years ago and we've continued to add to it. i've always thought it would be a perfect area for a patio. it's private and protected and gets the sun all day long. so yesterday - after much, much discussion - we got a dumpster and cleared it out. now all that's left is some beautiful compost that i'll spread in the gardens, and bit by bit this summer we'll turn it into my oasis.

fabulous to reclaim a spot like that! I can already imagine you sitting there knitting in the sun...

a full dumpster bin is the sign of fabulous changes to come!
