INQUIRING MINDS MIGHT HAVE WONDERED . . . ?
It is difficult to imagine that there is virtually ANY FEATURE on this planet that my home does NOT offer us but the truth is that 25 years ago there was something missing. Can you see what isn’t there?
I adore sitting under a porch roof during rain storms and if you consider it, my home has no real covered porches from which to do just that. Additionally, all of you who have graced us with a visit during the summer, have experienced how intense the sun can be coming directly in the front of the house. Finally, in that first year here (1992/93) I planted the grand old gramma of the wisteria and she took off like gangbusters. Where exactly did I think she was going to go?
While awaiting the arrival of guests one afternoon easily 24+/- years ago, I was contemplating those very issues.
EUREKA – it came to me as I gestured, “What can I do?”. I glanced at my own arm and hand (my hand and red fingernails had already been incorporated into the fabric of how TSH business image) and thought, ‘This is perfect and in complete alignment with the various curvilinear aspects of my home.’ Do you see the inspiration?
Knowing how wisteria overtakes what its arbor is, we set about to fabricate the one on the front porch.
With that success under our belt, we proceeded to the Master Suite balcony where it took until just 5 years ago (so nearly 20 years) for the wisteria to ‘get the drift’.
In spite of the patience required on the Master Suite balcony, we jumped in with both feet to aid the youngster wisteria over the upper pond.
After all these years, look how well these ‘fingers’ have served us. . .
Here’s to trusting that my home tells me exactly what she wants, eh?
