In the Garden

My husband and I share the same incorrigible nesting habit. We play house, creating our own small universe, a perpetual playground, and safe place to dream.

Birds and other small animals come to play in the open field behind our house, where there is a small lake and a calm forest standing on the horizon.

Something inspired us to build an L-shaped wall that creates a secluded courtyard. In this closed-in garden, nature, sky, clouds, wind, and rain all speak a different language, my language.
