Spring Has Sprung

It has finally happened.  The long (although mild this year) Alaska winter is over.  The trees are green, the roads are clear, and the birds are chirping.  What better way to bring in the season than with another recycle, repurpose, reuse project.

Kitty has wanted a gazebo for several years now.  We never were able to build one in the past but it finally happened.  Someone tossed their store bought gazebo that had fallen apart over its couple of year lifespan.  More junk into the landfill.  If you look closely at the top of this one of kind piece of yard art you will notice it is an old 1930’s or 40’s bed spring, the precursor to our current box springs and foundations for bedding.  This is all metal, served its purpose for decades, then was finally tossed to melt into the earth over the next 100 years or so.

This is also the first time I’ve tried to take pictures with a smart phone.  They’re okay but I think I will stick with my Nikon from here on out.  Remember that everything you see here is trash.  It all came from the dump.  You don’t have to spend bunches of money to make your space unique and stylish.  Besides, everybody and their brothers are buying the same things you are so there is nothing unique about it.  Spend a little time with your creative side and see what you can come up with.  Just wait until later in the season when this cool little zen spot starts taking on its own personality with flowers, herbs, vegi’s, and more!
