Hi Dear Folk,
Things are coming together on my shed build, a couple of boo boos but nothing major that can't be rectified. The French doors are 80 inches high and we only made the side walls 78 inches high, we could have made them higher but didn't. This can be worked around. The doors leading onto the porch will be full height and will open inwards, the doors leading off the side will be need to be cut two inches and will open inwards. The apex of the roof it around 9 feet high. The builder kept the angle of the roof in line with the angle of the roof of the garage and I think that works well.
The two windows I bought are quite large so almost floor to roof line windows, that's ok lots of light and a picture window view.
I love my wisteria, the fragrance and beauty, the bees love it too.
The porch roof was added on today, it's truly starting to shape up.
My neighbors across the road are moving after 45 years, we will miss them. He said when they moved in my pin oak was 10 feet tall. Now after fifty odd years it is a monster, fortunately healthy with a life span of 120 years so a few more to go, it will see us out. I don't fancy having to have it cut down. I said to Mr. B. we could pay someone a million dollars and they would never be able to get rid of every oak leaf in our yard, it's never ending. My neighbor said "the gift that keeps on giving." Just after you finish cleaning the leaves then all the cattails with pollen fall. The life of a gardener.
Just a couple of things in the garden, stag horn fern one of my favorites.
Columbine flower, always think they should be in fairy tale picture books.
Well that's it. No not quite, I've decided to plant a rose garden outside my Simla room windows. My aunt has over one hundred roses in her garden in England, it's heavenly. I have eight in my garden dotted about, but a whole garden just of roses would be nice and they would get enough sun there. I'm looking for some specific roses, several I wanted were already sold out, I guess I've left it a bit late. But a couple still in stock are Julia Child's and Macy's Pride, I also liked Amber Queen and I am trying to keep within a certain price range.

The wisteria is a beautiful sight. Your garden is wonderful. Will love to see all the photos when the building is finished.
