Little Red Hen House????

Little Red Hen House????

For the last couple of years, I have been dreaming of a garden shed for the top of my hill, near the rhubarb patch.  I love it there; the wind is always blowing, and the scenery is incomparable.

The most important criteria for my garden shed was that it would fit a couch. I have visions of going in there to have a nap when I am picking rhubarb or working in the garden.  The other criteria, of course, is that it not be too costly, given my miserly streak.

I put the word out to my relatives, many of whom are genius at finding and re-purposing treasures the less innovative person would simply discard.  Soon, I had a lead on a garden shed looking for a home. When I opened its door to check for couch dimensions, the first thing I saw were empty banana boxes smiling right at me. I knew then this was the garden shed for me, banana boxes being an essential component of my Rhubarb Industry.

Within days, the garden shed was delivered to my hill amid a great flurry of activity that drew crowds of dogs and people.

The Crowds Gather

Although the interior decorator has not yet made a mark, the potential is obvious. It came with some charming features including a three-tiered bunk bed, or shelving unit,

and a unique yet effective lock.

I have already added a few crucial items including Tom’s hat in case he wants to help in the hot sun.

On Pinterest, they call these coveted little buildings “She Sheds”, the female equivalent to a “Man Cave.” And they look something like this:

And this is mine. The "before" picture. Before the paint, the verandah, the satellite dish. I'll keep you posted!
