A Simple Gateway Trellis

A Simple Gateway Trellis

Were making progress on a big project. Yesterday we built a simple gateway trellis that Nancy designed.

The Posts are pressure treated Hem Fir and the primary lumber is Western Red Cedar attached with stainless steel screws. It should last a lifetime.IMG_0482

    How elegant yet simple. Your work inspires me. I’m reminded of this poem:

    “Mad Girl’s Love Song

    I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
    I lift my lids and all is born again.
    (I think I made you up inside my head.)

    The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
    And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
    I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

    I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
    And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
    (I think I made you up inside my head.)

    God topples from the sky, hell’s fires fade:
    Exit seraphim and Satan’s men:
    I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

    I fancied you’d return the way you said,
    But I grow old and I forget your name.
    (I think I made you up inside my head.)

    I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
    At least when spring comes they roar back again.
    I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
    (I think I made you up inside my head.)”
    ― Sylvia Plath

    Cool. I have an idea to do a drawing based on those proportions. Thanks for the inspiration.
