Outbuilding

We've got a couple of outbuildings up back beyond the garden. For the most part, we store deck furniture and garden equipment in them. To keep the two straight in our minds, we named them after our cats. This is one we call 'sophie', after our Siamese and youngest. This is the newest addition. See, there's a method to the madness here. Off to the right, you'll find 'molly' after our brown and black tiger, who happens, I think, to have a touch of Maine coon in the mix. You're probably saying, Why? Well, in our 'garden world', it helps, in a small way, to keep things under control up here.
I just hope I won't have to dig my havahart trap out of this building, in the next month or so, to catch the crazy squirrels hanging on my bird feeders.
Them cwazzy varmints!

  5. I'm not sure but perhaps it's living in the cold country or so far north - I mean, really, naming buildings to keep 'em straight? It's a good thing you don't have more than two. I'd say ten is about all you could handle. Heh, heh!

  9. So much depends upon a named shed in a wintry back garden.

  10. What, no wascally wabbits? Why not name your sheds after your cats, or Hindu deities or the many words for snow in Inuit languages? You know, whatever works.

  11. At this time of year, the red siding really shows to advantage.

    Naming your utility sheds? How cute.

  12. I could never keep the names straight. I love the red paint job on your building.

  13. This is an excellent shot, like the combination of red and white.
