Picnic Table
This winter I cleared one corner of the Butterfly Meadow of invasive bush honeysuckle, euonymus, English Ivy, and privet. Underneath the vines and brush I found the remains of raised beds and pathways lined in black plastic. This corner is always shady in the summer, underneath the arching branches of a mulberry tree.
I bought this slightly damaged concrete picnic table with benches at Architectural Antics, a wonderful salvage shop on North Broadway. Now there is a civilized place to sit, just like a real park. Imagine yourself drinking coffee in the mornings, writing in your journal, thinking things over.
