One of my favorite features about the house we bought to redo about five years ago was and is the back yard. In addition to the artfully created flower beds is the fact that we are still discovering assorted yard art.
The photo for today is a remnant of a recently discovered antique plow. It was tucked into assorted foliage under a large spreading Tallow tree. It could not be seen well until fairly recently when the drought killed off several of the native vines. Unfortunately one of the most prevailant vines remaining is an incredibly healthy poison ivy. Sort of assures that no one is going to feel the need to touch it! Provides a great teaching tool about how to recognise the PIow!
The plow appears to have outlived its usefulness... Its one of those perspective things. When you consider the fact that the plow allows one to ponder where it was used, and how it was built, it takes on a whole new purpose. In its rustic condition and secluded location... it has a whole new idenity as a piece of yard sculpture.
Somehow, it seeems there are lessons to learn about finding the best in even what appears to be all used up. Now that I have found this old relic, I enjoy seeing it , and I believe it would be missed if it were removed.
