Our picket fence is painted Dover Gray to match the house and this gate opens into the backyard, following a walkway of stepping stones in the grass. Since a gate usually holds the promise of something beyond, I wanted to add some small detail that hinted at more than a suburban expanse of lawn. The little oval sign was acquired from a local dollar store, making it a really frugal find! It is resin cast with the appearance of stone and is simple but welcoming.In a world that talks too much, writing is a way to capture thoughts and shine a light on the enterprise of life - at home, in the kitchen, out in the garden and almost always through a camera lens.
