During the summer when I was a child, I had fun staying with my grandparents who lived in a big old craftsman style house. In the backyard was the most precious, sweet, darling little garden shed with a pink rose bush that climbed up and over the roof. My grandmother~who we called Baba~adored my interest in gardening.
I enjoyed helping her in her garden, but most of all I just wanted to "hang out" in her garden shed.
Baba was such a sweet lady. And, I loved her so much. She treated me like a Princess. Most often I would find a stack of books placed out in the garden shed...just for me! She knew how much I loved sitting on the stool in the shed reading books.
Oh, those sweet childhood memories of lazy summer days in Baba's garden shed. Hugs~Dogwood

Dogwood, that was the most beautiful post. Are those actual photos of your Baba's shed? It looks magical. No wonder you want a shed of your own in Grass Valley. How sweet your Baba was, leaving you books and tins of cookies. She not only treated you like a princess, but passed along the sense of kindness and thoughtfulness I have seen in you for so many years. Thanks for sharing such wonderful memories.
What sweet memories! I love the visions of that beautiful shed with the roses climbing up the sides. I felt like I was there with you, reading books and eating cookies.
What a wonderful walk down memory lane! I just loved it and felt like I was right there in that sweet garden shed too. Does that precious garden shed still exist? Loved this post!

Thank you for sharing such a sweet and touching memory!
Hello Dogwood thank you so much for your kind words about my blog x I was especially taken by your kind words re my header. I love it too. It is my mum (on the right) her auntie and the two little boys are my older brothers. I just think it is a classic photo what with the knickers in the shot!
Love to follow your blog.
Take care

Hi Dogwood, this is a lovely post honoring your Baba and her love of gardening. I think her little garden shed is adorable and I can see where you loved to spend time with her and her little shed. Treats and books and summer and flowers sound just perfect to me! Happy memories...
