Just before Hurricane Harvey, David and I rushed to get everything
around the house as secure as possible. Our little garden shed, tucked
behind our garage in a private little enclave, became the catch-all
for everything related to the yard.
Despite the eight straight hours of category 4 hurricane winds, this
little shed was safe and sound. It wasn't even missing a shingle from
it's roof. I love this little shed even more now. It's a tough little haven.
I have spent quite a bit of time fussing around the patio and the
veranda, and this little shed was being ignored. I spent yesterday
and this morning beginning the clean up around it and giving it
the tender loving care it deserves.
I raked and cleaned little beds. I replanted a sad rose bush. I put down
new mulch.
I put some herbs in pots and added some flowers for color too.
It's a start. I am trying to keep this spot functional as well as pretty. I am careful to
work one area at a time so that I don't give up in frustration. The next thing I need to
do is get rid of the poison ivy that has decided to grow up the fence that separates this
area from the rest of the yard. I went on YouTube and learned the best way to do
this without exposing myself to any of the dreaded oil that causes the rash.
I keep telling myself ~ I am brave. I can do this! Wish me luck.
Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
