As we walked through the barn last year, trying to imagine how the alley and tack rooms could be converted into our home, we noticed some things we could use later on — an old-time telephone sign, a Texas star, and a large tree stump that made a good seat now being used as such on the patio.
The phone sign now hangs on a cedar post on the covered back patio which is our family gathering spot. The star decorates the very tall pantry door.
Later, as I was cutting back one of the Very Overgrown lantanas, I found a deer skull with antlers completely hidden by the bush. What better to hang from the center support beam?
Studying the deer skull up close, I was reminded of Psalm 139:13, “For it was You who created my inward parts; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.” The seams of the bone actually do appear to be knit together!
