…………………..The stove belonged to my mother in law, Marianne. It’s a real stove, and I often wonder how it was used. The plant stand [photo third in at the bottom] also belonged to my MIL. I know she and Jac would be very happy to see them now…..looking brand new……There are bird houses scattered around the garden. Jac and I used to collect them. It wasn’t anything serious, but whenever we saw one that was interesting we’d buy it. There are some on the sun porch in the house that I don’t bring out, because I don’t want them exposed to the elements…….The garden is looking really pretty. It’s so nice to just sit on a lounge chair in the sun, and listen to the birds……with Sammy by my side.
