The summer before last, I created a lean-to out in the back yard, and then last year I made a second one.  Maintaining the back garden, with all the mature trees and the shrubs in the back, generates plenty of sticks of various sizes and I like the idea of using them to make something fun in the yard rather that bundling them up and making them disappear. Last year, Tuffy P started calling them the Imagination Stations. I like that! Already this spring, I’ve been adding to both of them. Today, I added a chair to the first one, the one by the shovel garden, and I put a frog on the chair. Tuffy P leaned a small floral mosaic nearby. Maybe this year, I’ll built a third large garden object of some kind.
