Every day in this garden we discover or make something new. Lately I've been trimming the low branches of this tree to turn it into a natural cubby house. Its hard to get a photo of of it but by the fence its like a leafy tunnel and the trimmed twigs and leaves have been made into cozy pretend beds.
Today we tied up some branches and added a door made of an old cot sized sheet
The tree is a beautiful, its a gum tree that Benny planted when he was a little boy (for those who don't know we live in Benny's parents old house)
This tree is in a cozy little nook behind my garden shed. We have a little temporary mud pie kitchen set up back here so that the children can make pretend food to 'eat' in their little tree house (still getting around to making a propper one but in the meantime this one is rather great fun)
I love this pretty moss:)
We have plans for a rope swing, must get some more rope
I love seeing the dirt creations
