my garage

photo - day 11

Well, since i cleaned up my garage this past weekend - haha - i thought i would share a photo :) (cleaning consisted of sweeping out the leaves that have fallen off my bike and cleaning up the salt deposits from where the snow slush has melted off my bike earlier in December)

This is actually the foyer to our house in Holland.... not technically a garage. You can see the kitchen area off to the right. There's a really cool straw mat in front of the door that is actually cut into the floor. Catches all the dirt and rain as we come in :) Most houses that I have seen in Holland to not have an actual garage like you would see in the USA. Our house happens to have a large front foyer area and we decided to use it as a place to park our bikes and double jogging stroller/bike trailer. (The boys and Helen park their bikes around back under a covered area.) In the morning when it's cold or snowy - I don't have to clear off my bike :)

I usually load all the kids in the bike before we open the front door and then they are "delivered" right to the front door of their school. Talk about a chauffer door-to-door service :)
