Our Serenity Spot

Our street is full of houses whose neighbors
are very close. For privacy, we populate our
upper deck with lots of plants. It makes a
pretty and peaceful place for those times
when you need a break.

A few fairies hang out on on the bench in the corner
by the bird feeder. It lends that air of pretend.
It is easy to pretend you are in a garden.

It is a great place to go for deep breathing,
meditation, Bible reading, etc. There is a bird feeder
in the corner and it is used often by a variety of birds.


One of 3 windchimes that hang here.
This one is brass and was a gift from India.

Lots of petunias, pansies and more.

Hanging pots of miniature roses at the end.

One of our benches with a table for the coffee,
iced tea or ???? depending on the stress level!

Fourth of July Picnic with friends


Good food, good friends and family, good

celebrate.
