A Real Horseshoe For My New Shed



My friend Alex is traveling during the month of August with her family in Montana and Idaho. It's strange to have her gone this long, but this year, she got her first cell phone, and has been staying in touch almost daily, texting me her experiences at the family reunion, and sending me pictures of the stunning prairie and the expansive blue skies.



Before she left, I told her I was looking for a 'real' horseshoe to put over the door of my new garden shed. She texted me yesterday, saying she found one for me, "and it was only three dollars!". What a bargain--she was so proud of herself to have found such a treasure for me. She's a great 12-year-old!



I can't wait for her to return at the end of the month. We'll get the horseshoe nailed up, and it will remind both of us of her great summer adventure!

  1. How nice. Its aged look is a definite plus. A great accessory for any garden shed, I feel. It kinda gives one a time for relaxed reflections on everyday life, revolving around work in the garden.
