WOODLAND BENCH

From Faerie Houses and forts to furniture made with " nature's offerings" ( and a few choice pieces of scrap wood from behind the shed) our 12 year old  daughter created her first piece of WOODLAND ~ FURNITURE!

I'm still shaking my head at how she did it... I know, with a hammer and nails of course! And a great amount of IMAGINATION and INGENUITY!

She fashioned the arched detail with branches and twigs. 

And the legs from left over stumps she found in the cut wood pile.

It's the perfect place to sit a spell on a warm fall day , watch the " girls" scratch and listen to them tell a story or two...

If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of WONDER he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, REDISCOVERING with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.’

— Rachel Carson
