a bench for all seasons of life
This antique bench migrated from a friend's family lakeside house when she was forced to sell it several years ago. Her grandfather built the house, then built on again when the family grew larger.
Decades later, with so few of the family members still in the area, my friend sadly sold the large plot, well situated at that time between a golf course and a large all-sports lake.
I have many happy memories of that lakeside place as I grew up with my friend, but this bench was just a casual bystander in those days. After spending a few years in the outer reaches of my garden, the boards are in need of replacing, which easily bolt onto its frame.
My friend now lives in an apartment several states south of me, but if she should ever wish to have a garden bench, I'll make sure this one is properly fitted out with new boards and fresh paint as it will always be hers...
