Amish sheds are 'kid friendly'...!!!  

A couple of years ago we ordered one of those Amish made sheds for our rear yard...  

Where most families store garden tools and equipment in such an outbuilding, supposedly, this would alleviate keeping our kids toys, bikes, balls, pogosticks, hula hoops, scooters, skateboards, etc. in our garages...thus creating more room for our cars and other 'adult' toys...it also creates a demarcation point and keeps kids in their own zones...as much as possible...  

Well, our shed, which was ordered to match the siding, shingles, and color scheme of our home, took only about 6 weeks to be delivered...and we ordered it with a ramp to make access a lot easier for the kid's wheeled vehicles...  

Little did we know that the ramp, the directional orientation of the shed itself, and the deep stone base upon which the shed sits would create an ideal environment for the breeding of frogs and toads...another 'kid friendly' activity...!  

The thing I like about this activity is that the kids will play with the animals, but not relegate them to an indoor tank or aquarium...unless for 'nursing' purposes...thus respecting the harmony which nature creates around us...an important life lesson...  

So when you order one of those beautiful Amish made sheds, consider carefully where you will place it in your yard...you could create or eliminate a meaningful 'conversation piece'...!!!
