The Door To Nowhere

   Every now and again while on a hike about the place, I stumble upon something that defies explanation.  A couple of weeks ago, it was a fern frond far, far from any ferns.  Now, a door to nowhere has appeared.  I am using "door" here because that is what the thing looked like to me.  A shard of wood was wedged in the gravel of Pebble Creek.  It was one of those parts of a tree where the wood grain was wrapped around a limb and has left a hollow spot.  The shard was propped up in the perfect position to look like a gate or doorway only it led to nowhere.  In fact, it opened directly into the tiny creek so if anyone was able to pass through it, they would have immediately tumbled into the water.  How the piece of wood got there is beyond me but it did serve a purpose. 

  The "doorway" started me pondering about the Small Gardens and how a door would be an interesting fixture...a folly, so to speak.   It would exist only to make folks scratch their heads and wonder why a door was in the middle of the garden.  The Small Gardens already have a lot of these garden follies as interesting features.  Every time I find something weird or wonderful, it has to find a home as a garden feature so a "Door to Nowhere" would fit perfectly.  Now...I have to find that perfect door and the perfect spot!
