My Secret Garden Continued... |
|
|
We go to the left...towards the house. |
|
|
|
|
|
That's the front door on the left...the garage door on the right... |
|
So...that's the door to the outdoor shower. It's my reward at the end of the day...Especially after a hard day of playing in the dirt! And there's nothing quite like taking a shower in the rain...or under the stars! That's a 52 gallon water barrel, which collects rainwater for the plants. It's great! It gets water from the downspouts and it worked so well, I got another...and then decided to make myself four more to use for all my downspouts. So...every rainfall...I can gather aver 300 gallons of FREE water for my plants! |

|
So...walking around the shower toward the back now...heading to the fire pit. |
|
|
Looking back at the house. |
|
GREAT place for roasting marshmallows...or telling scary stories under the stars! That's the sweat lodge at the edge of the woods.
And...The fire pit is a Potowatome Fire...their sacred ashes were mixed
with ours. FYI...the Potowatome
Indians were a member of the "Council of the Fire" here in Wisconsin...and
were chosen as the "Keepers of the Fire". That is what Potowatome means.
The Potowatome fire upolds a tradition that has been ongoing for
thousands of years. |

|
And here is Martha, Darlene, and Larry waiting (patiently?) for the brats to get done. |
|
|
So...walking from the fire pit now...around the day lily garden...heading over toward the pond. |
|
The pond is on the left...we are looking toward the back of Garage #2. |
|
|
That's the day lily garden on the left. There were yellow pansies in the wash tubs then...Martha has her herbs planted there now. |
|
|
Looking over toward the house now... I'm trying to thin out the ferns a bit...they are growing like weeds! |
