When I came to live with my son and daughter-in-law I was afraid I was going to miss my yard more than anything else. I had spent the last twenty odd years getting it just the way I like it with a garden bench, chairs and other garden structures to create a reading paradise where I could go outside and have my morning coffee and read the newspaper and just enjoy the birds and such. So the first month was very difficult as their yard was brand new and nothing more but grass and a deck.
I guess my son could tell something wasn’t quite right because he asked me and I told him that I really missed my yard. That was a little over a year ago and they have let me help design an entire backyard and a place that is all my own. I choose a wonderful arbor as an entrance into a small alcove with a garden bench and chair that allows me to go there any time I want to and read or just enjoy the sunshine and the day. It has brought us all closer together and I am so thankful because I feel like I am home again.
