Phyl Remembering Dad - Miss him so, of course. As I work outside today many tears will be sprinkled on the yard. He admittedly was the major influence in developing this person (me). Lost him way back in '83, only 65.
I have to share this. . .As I work on the yard and garden, I'm in the midst of his influence. Big milestone happening - time to deal with donating the garden fence to recycle bags. He hand made my red/black/gold oriental fence to go around the vegetable garden. (Black pickets, red cutout cirles, gold balls as the top of each picket, and a oriental script meaning abundance proudly hanging at the entrance gate. 83 hand-designed and cut pickets of oak (?) I forget. Installed in 1973, weather won the fight. Returned itself to dust. Plastic, wire, mesh, and chicken wire help as a barrier of sorts - but just never will be "right". One of many house gifts he made, gave.
I have one lasting
indoor momento that has survived safely indoors. Dad was really handy and kept busy "downstairs". The above mentioned safe object is my rocking elephant. As my brothers and sister had their families, he made them actual rocking horses, rocking elephant (sister-in-law's fav animal), 5 ft high giraffe clothes valet for my sister's babies' room. I never did kids - but in his ingenuity he scaled down the above mentioned elephant into a 1 1/2 foot hugh rocking elephant for me. It still lives with me. The fence and elie will always live in my soul.
Thanks all for your patience and for listening.
