This rusty green wheelbarrow has been in the family for at least 54 years. It was one of the first garden equipment the Daddy bought for our new home way back when. We have used it to make cement, to carry bales of hay, and to move dirt, wood, and whatever from one side of the house to the other.
Today it sings a loud, squeeky-squeek when rolled so we prefer to use a hand truck.
I love its rustiness.

Perfect now as a lawn decoration!

DeleteA family treasure indeed! The stories it could tell I bet!

Willa the Wheelbarrow Tells Almost All. Hmmm.
Deleteits certainly got an abundance in the rust department
ReplyDeleteWilla the Wheelbarrow's dress of rust. I'm liking the sound of that.
DeleteLove the pic! It seems to have an autumn feel and if you place a poinsettia in front, it could be a Christmas card
ReplyDeleteYou're right! That would be a cool photo. Where's a poinsettia when I want one?
DeleteIsn't that sweet? I love family treasures!
ReplyDeleteI'll take Willa the Wheelbarrow over a diamond ring any day. :-)
DeleteA golden sight! Lovely shot.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lady Fi!
Delete...get a can of WD40 and it should go another 54 years.
ReplyDeleteThere's a thought. A good one, too. I even know where a can is.
DeleteIt could become another planter box. :D
ReplyDeleteI've thought of that, but I really like its rusty inside.
DeleteThanks for stopping by Travelnwrite today! And your photo brought back memories of my childhood wheelbarrow - I do wish we'd have kept it!
ReplyDeleteAt least you have wonderful memories.
