Potting Bench

This time of year I am forever thinking about what I want to do once I can get outside and actually enjoy it again. This is what gets me thru winter in Northern Illinois!
I think I want a potting bench. I have been hunting online for ideas and I think I have it narrowed down to what would work for me. Now I just have to get dear husband to agree to build it. 
Actually he will be excited to do it since he loves planning and building things.
~~~~~~~~
Below is a picture of what I had in mind  & with a few "tweaks" I think it might be perfect. 
This bench is from This Old House and they give directions and a supply list! 
How nice is that!
The link is listed below if you want to take a peek.






I love the idea of the drawer


  This just might have to be the color I use


Ooooooo I really like so much about this one.

Snow Falling

One would think after decades of seeing snow fall you would think I'd be rather blase` about it. 
Nope~Never~Not at all. 
Every time, I am fascinated and humbled by it's beauty as it falls. 
There is a hushed silence in nature as it happens.
It's so hard to imagine that each flake is different and unique. 
How can you not be amazed by it?

The Desk

I'm a fairly neat person. Now don't get me wrong....I can live quite nicely not having things 
exact, 
perfect, 
orderly
...well you get the picture.
But one thing that is always what I would consider a horrendous mess is my desk at home. 
Unlike my desk at work..... it is a disaster. 
I no sooner straighten things up and do my filing and shred the necessary paper when it's back to crazy cluttered again. I try, I really do, but have yet to figure out a good system so it doesn't happen again and again.
I would bank on the fact that the paperwork breeds when I'm not around.
