I took pictures of things I wanted to remember when we were getting ready to leave Mississippi. This is one of them. We named it "The Garden of Eden". It is an oasis of beauty situated in the middle of seminary housing in Clinton, MS, courtesy of my good friend and neighor, Dee Dee. The first thing she did when she moved in? Did she unpack, move boxes around, set up her living room? Nope. She headed straight to Lowe's to take care of the most important part of the house: her patio. There are no backyards in the townhomes, but there are patios. Most people don't do much with them, but Dee Dee is not most people. The inside of her house is gorgeous too, complete with curtains, custom upholstered furniture, decorative pillows and paintings, all of which she has done herself, but my favorite thing about her home is definitely this little "add on" outside her living room window. Moving away from friends has been hard, and I'm thinking about Dee Dee today especially because Tuesdays were our Starbucks days, but distance can't change the fact that is she is one of my dear friends, and I know when I go back for a visit, Dee Dee and her patio will be there waiting for me :)
