Pic and a Word Challenge #210: Wheelbarrow house

• Manja Maksimovič

Wheelhouse is the theme, Patrick says. What is that? A house on wheels? My first thought went to the wheelbarrow and I stuck to it.

There is a wheelbarrow house
with a wheelbarrow garden.

Whose idea was it? I wonder.
Did the kid climb in it and say: “Go!”?

Or did a grown-up, father or uncle,
think of it first?

In any case, it happened,
I have photo proof, just not here:

Me, grinning ear to ear
out of the wheelbarrow

pushed around the garden
by uncle or father.

My first wheelhouse.

By now it has turned white, they tell me. Several cm of drama have fallen this week. I like it in all seasons.

This was that same garden two weeks ago when we visited Slovenia for my parents’ grand wedding anniversary. They still live on the first floor. No kids in the wheelbarrow now, just a bestia on the loose.

  • From my parents’ window. Mother’s parents used to live under us.
  • Uncle grows (some) food now.
  • Grandpa brought this bench from who knows where. I hope not from the park.
  • Bestia in the organic autumn look.
  • We play cards in this garden in the summer. This is “my” fir tree on the right, the same age as me.
  • A jolly ensemble.
  • Bestia has two speeds: casual…
  • … and urgent.
  • Mossssss. I love it.
  • Uncle’s radicchio protected from intruders.
  • Autumn leaves.
  • Another kind of radicchio.
  • Parsley and red radicchio.
  • These look rather poisonous though.
  • The next day the sun decided to finally pay us a visit. After one week. For a moment. (And now don’t forget to click on the photo to see them again in the colourful setting.)

  4. <smile> Somehow, you managed to wander into something somewhat close to the actual meaning of “wheelhouse”. Literally, a wheelhouse is any structure protecting a wheel. Figuratively, we use it in North America as an idiom referring to a place of expertise and comfort. “That’s not in my wheelhouse” is an expression meaning “that task is not something I’m very good at.”

    I suppose, a gleeful ride in a wheelbarrow is in your wheelhouse. 😉
