The Pig Behind The Door Diane Allan

A few years ago, I received a gift of a three-foot ceramic pig and wondered, what do I do with it? After some discussion, my husband and I went and purchased and old antique door and window and hung them under one of the huge cedar trees in our yard. In front we made a stoop, planted flowers etc. and suddenly, a cottage in the trees! We placed a table and chairs behind the door, set the table with flowers and tea and last but not least, placed the three-foot pig behind the door. Hence the pig behind the door was born.

The Pig Behind the Door is a collection of whimsical and sometimes humorous poems about the magic I see in my garden. It's about imagining.
