Behind closed door #3

You can tell that the spring longing is getting pretty strong by today's "behind closed doors." It's a door that really is hidden away in the basement and houses, among lots of other things, our summer patio and lawn furniture.

The wooden benches that can be found all around the monastery, next to the sidewalks, can be seen piled high, one set on top of and upside down on the lower ones. The green metal furniture goes on the patio that runs the whole length of the community room/dining room along the back of the house. In the back corner you can even see one of the three umbrellas that go with the oval tables. Out of sight somewhere are two white picnic tables and the two gliders on which many summer evening readers can be found.
