The Garden is Done!!!! Just in time for my bride to come home! All of the cedar is taken from an old house on my street. It was built in the 1950's from pure cedar wood. The wood is beautiful and has a story behind it... I talked with the man selling the house/ taking it down and he said, "My Grandfather built this house with is bare hands. My dad build this house right here (one house over) next to his dad. And now I live here with my mom... I've lived my whole life on this street... that was our old football field and that was our baseball field. Where all that new development is... that's where the old city dump was... " I talked with Dale for about 25 minutes and in that small amount of time I felt connected to our neighborhood and to its past. Now, I have some history in my backyard! I will pass that story along to the next person I talk to about the garden... I love this town!
