on the side . . .

When you live in a small house, 

on a small lot (3 houses are shown in his picture to give you an idea just how small our lots are),

you make the most of every little space.

Several years ago I bought a 3 tiered wooden cart for $3 at a yard sale.

It sits on the side of the house in a nook between our dining room and the fireplace.

Last week I spent a morning cleaning up the table after a winter of neglect.

The old screen was just sitting in the Garden House

as were all sorts of metal containers - the little wooden lamb is a left over from my days of "Americana" style.

After the cart was cleaned up, 

I had fun playing with pictures,

taking shots for Instagram.

I was pondering the idea of painting the cart, but after seeing all the pictures

I decided that cart is just fine the way it is.

It makes a great backdrop for photos

This is what the cart looked like this morning

as I got ready to plant seeds.

After planting the seeds, I had fun taking photos 

 at different angles - 

zooming in 

and out.

It's a beautiful spring day,  the side yard is organized, my blog post is finished

and I'm going to follow Lulu's lead by spending the rest of the day just lazing around.
