I came from a very basic and frugal family background. I always try to use and reuse any and every object that comes my way and create as much beauty as I can with it. I came from poor farming gardening folk on the whole.
I love Grandma's old outhouse to this day! She would hand me a little flashlight and a stick by the backdoor at night, and tell me to use it to knock down any Banana Sider webs that might be over the doorway. I loved that in Spring when we actually stiil used to have Fireflies, and especially when the Moon was big and the sky was just turning into that perfect clear shade of backlit crystal clear navy blue!
Yes! She still had one up until 1968! It never seemed to effect the family reunions much and their simple Cracker house was a clean beloved place for me.
I still don't get everything I want when I want it, and have found I have too much now that I need to get rid of!
Grandma and Grandpa were the ones who helped me understand the beginnings of life and the beauty of nature.
Merry Christmas!
