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 over 300 gallons of FREE water for my plants! |

GREAT place for roasting marshmallows...or telling scary stories under the stars! That is a sweat lodge at the edge of the woods. And...The fire pit is a Potawatomi Fire...their sacred ashes were mixed with ours. FYI...the Potawatomi 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 Potawatomi means. The Potawatomi fire upholds a tradition that has been ongoing for thousands of years. |

Made a new I think they liked the Siberian Iris!
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. |

Looking over toward the house now... I'm trying to thin out the ferns a bit...they are growing like weeds! |
