Transformation Time!

  It is hard to trash a place!  Literally, it is hard to wreck a perfectly nice place.  I know.  That was my job today.  Why?  The answer is simple...the clue hunt, of course!  The greenhouse always seems to be involved in the clue hunt.  It is one of the easiest places to use as an outbuilding without a lot of  "moving out" of stuff.  During the summer months, the greenhouse is basically empty other than a few empty flower pots, some potting soil and maybe a few tools.  Plus, it can be transformed into just about anything that is needed.  So far, it has been a blacksmith's home, a conservatory, a boathouse and...get this...a greenhouse!  This year, it is to be a swamp witch shack.   With the clue hunt just a couple of weeks away, the decorating has begun.  To become the shack, the idea was to cram as much stuff into the the place as a swamp witch may need.  She definitely needs things like herbs, gourds, traps, pots, pans, a wood-burning stove, utensils, a few skulls, maybe some lichens and mosses and ferns, and, of course, a bunch of oddities that make folks scratch their heads in thought.  I have those...all of those.  Getting all of that stuff crammed into the little greenhouse is a trick, in itself!  I have resorted to hanging stuff from the ceiling!


  The chore is almost done and I cannot share the "big reveal" but, for now, a quick snapshot before a thunderstorm trapped me in the greenhouse for the entire afternoon was all I could get!  So...here is to trashing the greenhouse in preparation for the clue hunt and all its fun!
